Best gaming laptop? (details below)?

I'm gonna get a new laptop soon and I want one that really runs 3D style games well as well as older ones. I don't know which to choose and there's so many decisions. I need help choosing one that's right for me. I definitely want one that will be able to run The Sims 4.

-Lasts a long time

-Around $300

-Good battery life

-Mac or Windows? (I really can't decide which to ask for… I've used Windows all my life but I want try a Mac but then my stepdad can't work on apple laptops like he can with windows when something is wrong.)

-Lenovo, acer, HP, Dell, etc.

-How big of a screen, tablet style or not, etc.

-Which version of WIndows or which version of Mac?

If anybody has any recommendations I'd really appreciate it!

Its called the PS4.

With only $300, you won't find one. Laptops that run modern games well are typically in the $800-$1200 range. A decent DESKTOP (which is cheaper than laptops) is usually around $600.

Save your money, because gaming on a laptop is expensive
