Recommendations please: Study and Light Gaming, under £800, 15"

GF needs a new laptop for studies and games, so I'm doing some research.

Games like Rocket League, Peggle.
Study tools: Office, browsing, RStudio.
15-15.6" seems to be a good size to her.

Nice to have but not essential: touchscreen.

So far I've looked at Dell 15 7000 which looks quite powerful, and the Lenovo thinkpad E560 which seems not too much weaker but a more attractive price. Both seem to have great battery life too.

Would really appreciate any other suggestions!
Thanks

love the thin and light laptops and the Dell XPS 13 is eye candy. Otherwise I would go for a macbook air.

Be patient and get a MSI GS63VR:

i7 6700HQ
16GB DDR4
SSD
GTX1060m

Screen not announced yet.

If the above is under 800. I'll eat my hat.

Valid point, well made.

Dammit! Lol

Thanks all, we went with the Lenovo Yoga 700, 14". Touchscreen, SSD, geforce 940m.
Seemed to be the best option with only a slight compromise on screen size. It plays starcraft 2/rocket league just fine and the mrs is very happy overall.
