    I think 3650 mobility will struggle with high setting in those games. You'd have to turn down quality and resolution to play at good fps.

    As for wireless, 5300 is the one you want. It has 3 antennas, as oppose to two in 5100. In theory, 5300 has 450 mbs maximum throughput, while 5100 has 300 mbs; 5300 shoud also give slightly better signals.

    XPS 13 should have 9500m, which should perform inferiorly to 3650 AFAIK.

    Pretty sure it is the 3670 GPU in the SPXS 16, although saying that the 3670 is an overclocked 3650...
