Lenovo ThinkPads usually fall into that category. They tend to be good gaming machines since they're designed as workstations and have the resources, but come at a pretty hefty price.

 

Other than that, you can find some Dell and HP laptops with dedicated GPUs, but they usually aren't very good ones.

What are you planning on using such a laptop for? Would you need a higher end GPU? Do you have any CPU preferences?

Yea mainly gaming but sometimes video editing. Would want something above a 940MX for sure if thats possible. CPU preferred i7 (one thats not a renamed i5 basically)

Maybe the Aero lineup from gigabyte if you don't consider their design gamery. (It has RGB keys but you could set them to white or off, and the black design looks like it could pass off as a business laptop) http://www.gigabyte.us/Laptop/AERO-series

If you went the 15in route, it would have roughly the same sized chassis as the 14in one but with a tiny screen bezel and a num pad.

That's the one with the Vega GPU integrated with the Intel CPU, so pretty powerful
