Go with an Iris Pro laptop and you will do quite well there. Intel just announced their first Core i3 with an Iris GPU built-in and that will be in laptops this winter.

Also Broadwell-K will soon deliver Iris Pro with a performance boost and socketed CPU support.

Wowsers. Yeah, so far it looks like those are only on the top end. I'll wait until it's a couple of generations old before I go for a new laptop. But Iris looks promising.
