Laptop for DJing and CS:GO under $1000

I'm looking for a laptop that will work well with my DJ setup and playing the occasional CS:GO. I will still have my desktop so performance is not THAT important. #1 thing for me is reliability. I need something that won't crap out on me during a set, and also a readable screen from a distance (so I probably need a 15"+ screen). I use Traktor Scratch Pro 2 (System requirement: Windows 7 (latest Service Pack, 32/64 Bit), 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)). This is my first "real" laptop so I'm not sure what to look for; there are so many models out there! So any help will be appreciated.

If it needs to be readable at long distances, you need an IPS screen most likely.

How do I find if it's IPS? I don't see the panel type advertised anywhere.
