1. What is your budget?
~$1400, but I'd rather not spend it all if not necessary :wahoo:

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
13"-15"

3. What screen resolution do you want?
At least 1600x900, 1920x1080 preferred

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Already got a desktop, the laptop must be portable

At least 5 hours

For the games I'm looking to play (not high settings, low-medium - Dota 2, Minecraft, CS, Deus Ex HR), Intel HD 4000 would be enough, but I would prefer having a dedicated GPU.

I think its clear that an asus vivobook is a great option it has all you require and a touch screen for much less than 1400. That is if you want asus you can also look into the lenovo u series. My sister owns and loves a u310 touch.
