looking for 11.6 inch laptop light gaming?

[RaymondL]

Hey guys i am in search of a capable laptop for light gaming that is around 11.6 inch's. I mainly play league of legends but other games may come into the scene. I love my chromebook however it is not that powerful and it does run chrome os so that wont do

 

Any suggestions?

I do have a gs70 however that is fairly big and still fairly heavy so im not willing to lug it around to other places I use the gs70 mainly at home

Best performance you're gonna get in a small form factor is gonna be the new XPS13 with the HD540. http://www.ultrabookreview.com/10395-dell-xps-13-9550-iris-540/

Refer to above article in how to actually get the HD540 to run LoL and other SUPER light games at a decent FPS.

The XPS 15 is bigger...i would personally look at the 13.3" Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air

Low performance friend

Modern Skylake iGPUs should be able to run light games just fine, albeit, probably at reduced settings to hit 60 fps. IGPs of now are many leagues above IGPs of old (where the old ones could barely run light games of their era at all).

Smaller size my friend,he said light gaming,not "I wanna run 4k Ultra Witcher 3 with my MSI Laptop that's heavier than my whole body"

 

A 940MX is perfect for light gaming

The 940MX throttles like a beast. And it's also bigger than the XPS13. XPS13 is really like a 12in laptop size cause of infinity display. BUT, I stand corrected, I think that laptop does alot for it's price and performance. A good repaste and undervolt can tame it.

Even with all that,you can get more performance than a Iris

An XPS 13 with the Iris graphics should be OK fro what you are trying to do. I won't be great but it will be capable of playing lighter games at low settings. With the super small bezels it's total size is not much larger than a 11.6" laptop.
