A laptop for age of empires 4 on release

something like this offers the best value and will run it well

decent cpu (more powerful than the 6-core more expensive intel cpus) and a basic graphics card

this Acer Nitro 5 is well built and even the screen is decent as well (good colour gamut)

doesn't look "gamery" at all really with RGB keyboard lighting turned off

will function perfectly well as a normal laptop.

if you want something slimmer/ portable but not as powerful (run it at more basic settings) the new intel 11th gen cpus (i5 or i7) have much upgraded integrated graphics - the acer swift 3 with 11th gen i5 running at 28w (not all laptops will run it so well) will do but it will be pretty much the same price as the above gaming laptop.

but overall I'd go for the Acer Nitro 5 as it's great value for the cpu, gpu, build and screen quality

if going for something like an ultrabook make sure it's a minimum 11th gen i5 and research what power wattage level (TDP) the cpu is running at and that the ram is dual channel config
