Laptop Choice Help

[tomwalton-96]

I'm looking for a laptop as a secondary laptop to my gaming desktop. It only needs to be able to play games like Skyrim, Borderlands 2 and Bioshock Infinite at 720p resolution and low settings above 30 fps (i.e. smoothly).
However I would like the laptop to be quite portable (less than 25mm thick) and it also needs to have good build quality(i.e. good keyboard, trackpad and design). It preferably would have a backlit keyboard. I think someting like a core i5 processor and 630m or higher gpu would suffice but I'm not sure.
My budget can stretch to £600 however ideally I would like to spend less than £500. I have to be able to buy it in the UK.
One laptop I like is this: https://shop.sony.co.uk/shop/ipc/displayLayout/(rdb=0&cScrollCharGroupName=%24BASE_GROUP&citemarea=51AD6E2DB50911A0E10080002BC29BE1&cInstId=1&layout=27_185_74_75_77_78_79_80_82_91_92_152&cCharName=EU00000FF5_F1531&next=config&carea=%24ROOT&order=&citem=51AD6E2DB50911A0E10080002BC29BE152089C55825E0CE0E10080002BC29B74&xcm=PCM_b2ccrmstandard&cCharGroupName=%24BASE_GROUP&isHideActive=)/.do
I chose the core i5 with 740m 1gb graphics.
Thanks in advance.
