You will never achieve this on a laptop or tablet device, ever. The laws of physics are straight against you. If you want it to be powerful, it can never be small because energy means heat, and proper dissipation means size.
There is no such thing as a gaming laptop despite what advertisers may claim. There are laptops that can play games fairly well. They are not the same thing.
Look for a laptop that has either built-in AMD or nVidia graphics. Do not rely on Intel HD - that's only good for office use and blue-ray playback. And if you want to save money get an i5 over an i7 because no games use hyper-threading.
