I need one for school. Bonus points if it can handle some recent games.

Anything can handle 'programming'. What you're actually looking for is just a laptop that can handle recent games, as in a 'gaming' laptop.
Look for something with a GTX 950/960 in it.

A regular laptop can handle games like counter strike, civilization, MOBAs, etc.
It can't handle stuff like BF4, crysis, witcher, and so on. So it just depends what kind of games OP wants to play.

Gaming laptops are fucking trash. You should kill yourself for recommending that.

With the extended battery

Also uses the new Intel skylake chips

Because you don't need a fucking $5000 laptop with dual gtx 1080s that gets to 150 Celsius to do programming, which is what op requested

The right answer is always get a desktop for gaming and the cheapest laptop for school work. Or stop gaming crap AAA titles.

No not at all. You just have cognitive problems. Keep that in mind next time you try to dish out some of your horrible advice.
