Have gaming computer - want laptop

Hey guys. This is my first post on the forums, but I have been watching Linus for years. Anyways, I have a decent computer with an 4.7 GHz FX-6300 and a 660. I am Head Admin for a youtuber's minecraft sever and I have to always be monitoring the servers, website, and staff chats. That being said, I spent a lot of time in my room, away from my family.

I want to get a laptop to be able to work on the couch and not be in "my cave" for hours. I don't need a gaming laptop because I have my PC, but I want it to have good battery life and be able to play easy games like CS:GO and obviously minecraft. Do you have any suggestions? My price range is flexible, but $600-$900 is my max because I have my PC so I don't want to spend too much. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for suggestions! Oh, and the size of the laptop doesn't matter too much, but I rather be on the bigger size, but nothing that would be awkward to use on the couch or in bed.

Good battery life and games don't really go together well. I would say get something like this http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y40/

Location: Kaunas, Lithuania, Europe, Earth, Solar System, Local Interstellar Cloud, Local Bubble, Gould Belt, Orion Arm, Milky Way, Milky Way subgroup, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, Laniakea, Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex, Observable universe, Universe.

Spoiler

12700, B660M Mortar DDR4, 32GB 3200C16 Viper Steel, 2TB SN570, EVGA Supernova G6 850W, be quiet! 500FX, EVGA 3070Ti FTW3 Ultra.

What he said, furthermore gaming on battery can make even a GTX 980M weak due to power use constrains (can be turned off but battery life will drain FAST!)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll consider what you guys said, and I think I will go with one that focuses on battery life and maybe an SSD to boot fast. You guys responded pretty quickly, thanks again!
