Hi Guys I'm a recent graduate and am just about to start my first job, however this job will be based abroad with a lot of travelling so I need to invest in a good laptop as I cant bring my desktop with me. I'm looking for something lightweight and portable, running windows 8 with a good touch screen preferably in the 13-15inch range. I had considered the surface pro 2 however the small screen size wouldn't cut it as my only computer so have been looking at haswell ultrabook options. As it stands I like the look of the Yoga pro 2 as I'm a fan of the versatile design and am also considering the Samsung Ativ book 9 plus as it just seems like a good laptop. My main worry is that the HD 4400 wont be able to cut it on games. Im not worried about running things like crysis on Ultra, but I would like SimCity, Civ 5, fifa etc all to run smoothly and look good. I don't know of any laptops with haswell in this bracket that have a discrete graphics card and other than the MacBook Air that have a HD 5000 so I was wondering do you guys have any recommendations? Also worth noting I would like an SSD hard drive and would prefer 8gb's ram, also I am willing to spend a little more for quality, but cant stretch to serious gaming pc amounts. Thanks in advance!

Lightweight/Portable can't go together with a dGPU. You can always get an Alienware 14 for 2.774 Kg.

HD5000 is about 13% better performance compared to HD4400.

If you need 60fps to be "smooth", and high to be "look good", I do not think HD4400 or even HD5000 is for you. You will have to wait for HD5200 aka Iris Pro ultrabooks coming late this year or early next year.

Checkout Game Benchmarks for HD 4400. I see simcity (~35fps at low) and fifa 13 (~58fps at high):

Also do you need touch? Using touch in desktop mode is not really enjoyable.
