Define 'Non-intense' gaming, and what is your budget?

Without a set budget, a starter gaming system for low settings and non-demanding games would be one with a nVidia 840m / 940m video card.

Acer Aspire E E5-573G-52G3 - $500

Core i5-5200u
nVidia 940m
1080p screen

The 940m is a pretty decent mainstream graphics card, but it is not considered a "gaming GPU"; that is usually reserved for the GTX 960m and above. It is decent enough to play current graphically demanding games at 1366x768 or 1600x900 with low or a mix of low and medium graphic settings. Actual performance will depend on the specific game. Decent performance would be 30 FPS - 40 FPS. The lower the graphic settings and resolution, the better the performance.

ASUS X555UB-NH51 - $620

Basically the same as the Acer above, but with the newer and slightly more powerful i5-6200u CPU. Asus laptops are generally higher quality laptops compared to Acer.
