The XPS 15 has cooling problems unless you mod the cooling solution. The VRMs reach over 100*C and the CPU throttles to 1GHz making it next to useless.

As for the Razer devices - stay far and away. The quality control is garbage, the cooling is horrible, the customer support is probably the worst in the business. You're better off burning the money.

Where did this come from? I would love to see some evidence....

Yes I thought so too in my case for a long time... but then I found out that some of my "wants" just can't be satisfied, so I had to make cuts here and there. 

 

But else... most light laptops aren't really capable of gaming... the ones capable of gaming weigh a little more.

 

For just plain office use you can get some around 1 kg... but those are terribad for gaming then... even small or older games...

I just want to use it for school and playing league at my friends house. And taking a 2 kilo laptop to school every day gets annoying

The Surface laptop is a very poor purchase if you ask me. It is actually not possible to open it up for cleaning and maintenance without heatgunning the keyboard and ripping it apart with a knife. The Surface Book is a better device but the GPU inside is horrible for gaming without dramatically turning down resolution and ending up with a blurry mess of a game. The MX150 is really the bare minimum (it's akin to a GT 1030 or a last gen 950M) when it comes to playing a game at a resolution higher than 1280x720. Hence why I recommended the Swift 3 - it's probably the best option for the price.
