It's unclear what computing will look like in year 2105

There is no such thing as Avg Gaming. It's like 1/4 mile drag races using the family wagon.

That said, take a look at the 14 inch Alienware and Lenovo y40 line. Gaming must be a little more weight to handle the heat and power. For now, for today you won't find a lightweight laptop that games well. You might find one that weighs less but it would like blow the budget as they use carbon fiber to cut weight.

The first one doesn't have a GPU so until we know more, why list models without a dedicated GPU and GPU RAM?
