My laptop is dying and I spend a few months of every year in a different country. As It's not really feasible for me to take my PC on 6-8 Ryanair flights a year I need some sort of new portable hardware to play TF2. I don't care if it's a laptop or tablet or indeed a mini pc/monitor, I just need something light and portable, I can build from parts if necessary.

I have 4 main ideals although I really doubt all 3 can be met, particularly the 3rd.
-Is light and easily portable (Don't really want anything bigger than a 17" laptop, current is 15" I believe)
-Can run TF2 decently, ideally without dropping below 120 ever (good cpu, ok gpu)
-Doesn't cost $$$ (Don't really want to go over £750/$1100 however still feel free to suggest stuff slightly over this budget).
-Can output 120Hz (I don't care about 1080p, but this is the hard one).

I doubt I'll be able to find a 120hz laptop at this price point (the only I could find were around £2000 with overkill specs) but I don't know if there are any decent tablets (I doubt it) or small PCs/small 120hz monitors (possible?). Failing the 120hz part I can go for anything that outputs 60 or 75 with decent frames but If there are any cheap 120hz display options I'd love to know.

from your specs alone, i don't think you can find a portable pc that can handle your requirements for less than $1k usd

i think your best option would be to build a pc in a small case that you can travel around with
