Now that we have our system requirements laid out we can use this to make sure the laptops are at least hitting the minimum but ideally reaching the recommended. It is important to remember when looking at the system requirements for any game that a laptops hardware is not as powerful as a desktop computers hardware, and so we will always want to be going slightly above what is recommended for the game. We should also take into account that, as the game updates and new expansions are released, the system requirements will be increased.

All of the laptops below all achieve the above the minimum and most are above the recommended system requirements. They descend in order of price and performance.
