If your criterion is "decent 3D", I think that any Intel Ivy Bridge 
video would likely meet your needs.  Serious gamers want the high 
performance offered by high end Nvidia and AMD solutions, but for most 
people, Intel video has certainly reached the "good enough" level.  If I 
were you, I would be looking at laptops that use the mobile version of 
the Ivy Bridge architecture, or perhaps Haswell if you like to be on the 
bleeding edge.

Here are a few links that might be useful.  Note that phoronix has a 
tendency to sensationalize, so best to take everything with a grain of salt.
