+1 on Surface Book. Great build quality, good dev machine and decent gaming laptop as well.

Was thinking about getting one for work, and gaming is a nice perk

What kind of specs/graphics/resolution do you get on that for games?

Just make sure to grab one with the discrete GPU(dGPU aka Performance Base). It's not going to be anything near a desktop(no laptop will) but I can run most things at 1080p pretty well and some of the lighter stuff(like Pyre) at 3Kx2k(native resolution).

I would strongly recommend the XPS 15 9560 over it, if you don't need it to be able to convert it to a tablet.

More performant, cheaper, better screen.
