Doesn't really matter - your requirement "nice and easy to use" depends on what you're used to. If you're used to macs, a mac is your best bet. If you're used to Windows, your best bet is with a Windows-based computer.

"able to game" is very ambiguous. The sad fact is that a laptop with a dedicated graphcs card will be heavier (i.e. less portable) than a a simple "Office-machine", and that a dedicated graphics card is necessary for "able to game". If we're talking Facebook-games, that's one thing - but SWTOR is another.

You may have to consider weight and size if you're primarily going to use your computer for uni work. Something like an Acer Aspire S3 or S5 series might be good, or the 9-series from Samsung, or even the Zenbooks from ASUS. I'd recommend against a screen larger than 14", and I'd recommend against a computer heavier than 4 lb. You're in Ultrabook territory, essentially.

I'd recommend:

You'll likely end up with:
