A new laptop with dGPU that can be used as a tablet (like a convertible) is hard to get with your current budget. If however, you can shell out $100 more, you can get this (http://www.microcenter.com/product/481303/aspire_5_a515-51g-52r1_156_laptop_computer_-_black). Acer Aspire 5 with i5-7200U, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 15.6" IPS 1080p, 256GB SSD and Nvidia MX 150 GPU (great for casual gaming and can run some latest titles as long as you keep your expectations low in terms of graphics settings) for just $600 right now
