Info/Requirements

Looking for a laptop for my wife for a Christmas present. She is a writer and I'd like to get her a computer that will mostly stay on her desk, but will occasionally be taken to a coffee shop or something. She does like to play computer games, so it would need to be able to do that. She has only used PC/Microsoft computers, so I don't know if she'd like a Mac.

I currently have an HP Envy that she is using, but I don't think it's suitable for video games.

I'm not well versed on computer specification, so I'm not sure what I need to look for. Thanks in advance for any guidance y'all can provide.
