If you HAD to go with a non gaming laptop to play games, what one(s) would you get. I remember when I was younger, between 10-12 I asked for a laptop for Christmas one year to play sims on it. At the time sims 3 was being released. This was in 2010-2012 maybe? I received the gift. All i remember about the laptop was that it was dell, it had windows 8 and the lid of the laptop had a raised, bumpy texture to it. It wasn’t high end or anything but it was usable for what I played. I was wondering how big of a difference laptops are now compared to then? And what would you choose now if you had to go with a non gaming laptop or something cheaper.

This is just for curiosity sake. :)
