Yeah, you'll need a dedicated GPU for the latter two it seems. Look for something with a GTX 940M minimum. Just some quick filters on Newegg produces these as example of good configurations:

LINK (cheap, already comes with SSD)

LINK (better graphics, buy your own SSD, still come out under $1000)

LINK (same graphics as above, already has SSD).

Here are the search results: LINK (i3/i5/i7, within your budget and size range, and dedicated card, new)

about the same as the last two I linked in terms of specs but has an IPS display. Seems to be a few pounds heavier and have shorter battery life, so as long as you're OK with that.

Try Steam In-Home streaming. I haven't tried remote gaming but there are various ways to do it.
