Whats a good ultrabook with discrete graphics?

by Skylar1146 Mar 23, 2015 4:10AM PDT

Hi i am hoping someone can help me. I've been looking around for a few days but cant seem to find an ultrabook with these specifications for a good price.
*14 inches or under
*Good discrete graphics,capable of gaming on low-medium at around 30 fps or above that at low settings
*Under 600$ USD
The rest of the specs are negligible to me as I can work with anyone else besides a crappy graphics card. I know its a weird combination to have a good graphics card but not so great processor and ram etc but i'm sure there is something out there! Thanks for your time and help!

I am also willing to buy it used to save like 100-150$.

I googled ULTRABOOK DISCRETE GRAPHICS. The first hit was http://www.ultrabookreview.com/367-ultrabooks-dedicated-graphics-dvd/ and seems useful, although it doesn't mention prices. But I doubt you can get what you are looking for for under USD 600. But since you're sure there is, don't mind my doubts and just find it!

What do your favorite laptop shops say when you asked them? They moght know what they sell.

Looks to be a unicorn hunt.

I have yet to see such today. You can find a laptop then we can find benchmarks for that with some games.

It's a big world, what model fits your budget?

Also, if gaming is the goal, forget ultrabook. You've blown your budget right there.
