Hey Kol, not sure what you budget is, but I’d recommend getting something with an i5 CPU, which is mid-range as far as gaming is concerned, so more than enough power for a wife laptop (probabaly a bit overkill, but like you said you want something you won’t need to replace for a few years). You can get by with an i3 if you want to save money, but definitely stay away from the Celeron and Pentium CPUs.
Here’s a good deal on a Lenovo with an i5 and touch screen (also has an SSD drive which means you won’t have to worry about the hard drive dying as much)

Here’s a comparable Dell on sale for just a bit more (bigger hard drive and screen). some of it also comes down to preference on looks and feel (some ladies prefer the smaller screens)

If those are out of your budget, this is a great deal on an i3 (no touch screen)

These are the BB sales that stood out to me based on specs (haven’t looked at specific reviews of the models). Hope this helps, my man. Just let us know if you need any more help with this.
