This time, I asked what games he wants to play, and he said he'd like
to play something called "fallout 4" which doesn't apparently work on
his playstation 3 we bought him a few years ago.

What do I need to look for in a Windows laptop that will play such games?

You bought him a playstation 3 "a few years ago"; therefore, he should
by now have some idea of the value of money and the need to make
important decisions carefully. If he does not, he needs relevant
education within the family.

Don't _buy_ him a "gaming" computer. Make sure he has what little
equipment he really needs for school work and other useful applications.

Then let him earn the necessary money and decide what to do with it. If
he is old enough, let him get proper paid work outside the family. If
he is still really a child, let him do regular "work" within the family,
"earnings" paid into a savings account that he cannot himself withdraw
from. Put gifts into the account on suitable occasions, if deserved.

When he has enough money in the account, let him choose (with technical
guidance) what he wants to get; and, when ready, let him buy or order it
with an ancestor/uncle/aunt. By then, of course, he may want something
else entirely.
