Gaming laptop "for the wife"

[ricardofurriel]

Real simple: the wife needs a laptop, manly for basic tasks.

I want to play every time we travel.

Bottom line: a light computer, 14 inch max, dedicated gpu.

Max budget: $1200.

Is this even possible?

Thank you

Definitely, just go on any major site like amazon or newegg, for that price you should be able to get a quad core i7. Going with a 15" may be cheaper.

Right at your limit of $1,200 is the Dell XPS 15.
