ASUS UX303UB? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/ASUS-ZenBook-UX303UB-UH74T-Signature-Edition-Laptop/productID.328071200 940M should be enough for the games you list. 13" lightweight laptop.

Gaming laptops generally tend to have abysmal battery lives but here's a couple laptops I think might fit your needs: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i7559-763BLK-Full-HD-GeForce/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1460441494&sr=8-16...

Slightly above your budget but you can have a look: http://www.amazon.com/17-3-inch-i7-6700HQ-Blu-Ray-Notebook-Computer/dp/B018UXWJ2U/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1460440745 There are different configs you can choose from but of course, the higher SSD you get the more expensive the laptop is...

Should be the exact same GTX 950M as far as I can see. I personally don't think that 4GB will be useful because the card is a entry level for gaming and you probably won't be turning up settings too often so the extra 2GB's will probably be useless. There are some games out there that require...

One laptop is 1080p and the other is 768p. I assume the R10JX-DM230T is the more expensive one because its got a better display. However you will get higher gaming performance on the 768p laptop (because its a smaller resolution and has lesser quality). Higher the resolution, more quality you...

What is your budget specifically? What type of games are you looking to play? Also since its for school, what type of battery life are you looking for?

Personal choice at this point. Both have similar specs as noted above. Do you want 128GB SSD? or do you want a bigger screen? 1080p/FHD will look good on both so you don't need to worry about quality. SSD's in general are really fast. They boost your OS startup times and game loading times...

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=psdc_565108_t1_B015W7OTGG It has a 256GB SSD though but SSD's are a lot faster. Also the GTX 960M would be very very good for Dota 2. You could probably max out the game at 1080p resolution with 60fps. If you need more space...

By the way OP, they have updated the notebook with GTX 965M graphics if it makes a difference for you. Should be 20% faster. With regards to your question, generally, you will lose around 10fps in heavy CPU intensive games with ULV and GTX 960. However you will still achieve high frame rates...
