I'm looking for some advice on helping my wife build her first gaming laptop. We're both total beginners, and I have a starting budget of up to $700. She enjoys playing games like Baldur's Gate, Skyrim, and even fun titles like Untitled Goose Game. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

First off, I'd recommend setting aside a portion of your budget for a good laptop. Given that she wants something portable for your coffee shop gaming dates, look into gaming laptops around $700. Check specs that meet the games she wants to play – ideally, at least an Intel i5 or Ryzen 5 processor and a decent graphics card.
Also, consider if the $700 includes any additional items like a mouse, keyboard, or even a monitor. It's essential to clarify this, as it could significantly impact your choices. If it's strictly for the laptop, brands like Acer, ASUS, or Lenovo have some solid options in that price range.
If you can increase the budget just slightly, there are better options available that could give her smoother gameplay and more longevity. You might be able to find a refurbished model or a sale that fits your needs!
