Which computer would be best for League and I?

Let me start by saying I don't know much about consumer electronics or computers. I know I really like the simplicity of the Mac's operating system, I also like the sleek look of the computer. I am a student so most of the time my computer will be used for research and papers but in my spare time I will be playing League of Legends. (Currently and for the past three years League, has been the only game I play). That being said which computer do ya'll think I should buy? The Macbook Pro, Lenovo Y50, Alienware 13 & Optional Graphics Amplifier or Alienware 15 & Optional Graphics Amplifier. Those are the ones I have been looking at but I am open to suggestion. However it must be a Laptop and I must stay within a 1500 dollar budget. Here are some of my general questions? How will each computer run league? Is there significant difference in performance between all four computers? How long would each one of these computers last me 6 years? 9 years? less? more? And once again which computer do you recommend I purchase?

Thanks for help and any additional input!

Macs aren't for gaming, don't buy a mac for gaming, you are foolish if you do such...just don't, as for the other options, one second, checking them.

Edit: You will get the best performance out of the Alienware 15, however, League doesn't take that much to play, you can get 60fps easy on a REALLY cheap video card, 30 dollars cheap. I suggest going to pcpicker or another PC site like that and building it from there, or asking an irl friend, could get a system such as powerful for half the price, literally.

Imo, just go with a cheap laptop that will work for school. It doesn't need to do much beyond having an internet browser and word processor. Then, build a small cheap home theater PC (HTPC) for your gaming (you could buy a premade kit if you wanted). You'll stay under your budget, and your gaming won't be hindered by the fact that laptops become outdated very quickly and largely can't be upgraded to compensate.
