If you want to play these games on high, you'll need to invest in stronger laptops (most ultrabooks aren't designed for gaming, so they don't handle it all that well).

Based on what you posted, I'd say the Lenovo y400 with 650m SLI is your best bet, although it's been my experience that Asus generally has better quality builds.
