College Laptops?
I am going to be honest I do not know anything about laptop hardware. I want a laptop that will last me 4-5 years. I want the laptop to be FAST and not overheat, with good graphics and sound. It must be a PC, according to my college (Business Major). The laptop must have a minimum space of 500Gb whether SSD or HDD. My cousin said to look in to a laptop that has a quad core intel i7 processor.
My max budget is $1000. I will be using this laptop for college, I am not a big gamer but would like to be able play games like SIMS 3 and things like that.
The Laptop that seems great to me so far is the Inspiron 14 7000, because it has an additonal cache 32 GB ssd, which I heard helps with speed.
Please recommend me a laptop with these things, Thank you.

Well if you don't want your laptop to overheat, I wouldn't go for the i7 models. They have a reputation for overheating (basically designed for tougher tasks)
An i3 will be more than enough for anyone who is in college. Its not slow at all.
I would go for something like a Lenovo G580 (what I am using) and it is pretty good. It has a decent battery life of 4 hours, and it almost never overheats. Also, its not slow either. It comes in either i3 or i5 (plenty for a college student). It also looks cool, in my opinion.
Also, did I mention it is like $500?
Hope this helps :)
