Looking for a lightweight gaming laptop

[alfseeto]

Any recommendations for a small screen lightweight laptop for gaming? Don't need very good graphics or SSD, can play games at low or medium settings at 720p good enough.

Important must be as light as possible, 2nd most important is price.

You will need at least a GTX 970M laptop to barely match your R9 280X.
Sadly no 970M laptop is under 1.5kg, even RazerBlade 2015 is 1.9kg.

Lightest ones would be:

1) Gigabyte P34W v3 ........... ~ SGD 2600
2) RazerBlade 14 (2015)....... ~ SGD 3600
3) Origin EVO 15-S............... ~ SGD 3400

*Prices obtained from GameProSG (Funan DigitaLife Mall) and Origin's Website

All of them are easily more expensive than your desktop rig, yet slightly lesser performance if not equal.

Wow ok. let's say if I don't use the r9 280x. I actually use this desktop more for remote access and botting an android game plus watching anime, just the r9 280x uses alot of electricity and generates alot of heat.

Some nights due to the closing of windows for the haze I have problems sleeping if I do not turn the aircon on because of the heat generated from the desktop

I have a half mind to take out the r9 280x card and use the on board Intel 4000 gfx to run instead.
