I got a gaming laptop for Christmas and it can run ArmA 3 mid-high setting 40-60 FPS, but that s not really a game to play on a plane. Trust me, I tried. I'm flying back home tomorrow and I'm in need of a good "plane-game". Any suggestions?
Current game library that doesn y require Wi-Fi:
ArmaA 3, ArmA 2, ArmA: Cold War Assault, Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, Fallout, Garry s Mod, Hotline Miami, Hotline Miami 2, Insurgency (I think I can do bots offline, i don't know), Left 4 Dead 2, Minecraft (who doesn't have this), Mirror s Edge, PAYDAY 2, Portal, Portal 2, SWAT 4 Gold Edition, Space Engineers, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Knights of the Old Republic 2, WATCH_DOGS.
All games run (more or less) half decent.
Added (1). Btw I have $48 in my steam account, so do what you will with that price range.
