Well first you need to define what you want to do - and just saying that you don't play games isn't nearly enough info to go with. You have to decide:
- how much power you'd like (dual core, quad core, etc)
- how many apps you might use at any given time (for RAM amount determination)
- how big a screen you'd like (13", 14", 15", 17", whether you like matte anti-glare panels or glossy shiny ones, what kind of resolution you might prefer, etc)
- how much storage you'd like (SSDs are fairly standard nowadays but as the amount of storage increases so does the price, typical hard drives are still around 500GB to 1TB and barely affect the pricing at all)
- thin and sleek and light (an ultrabook maybe) or something more substantial (business class hardware from Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc)
- full keyboards with numeric keypads (wider) or just the keyboard itself
- and several other aspects too
There's really no best laptop just for a non-gamer, you have define a lot more in terms of what you want in a laptop. Maybe stop by a local retail store of some kind (MicroCenter, Fry's, Best Buy, whatever) and take a look at laptops on display and get some ideas of what you like, what you don't like, then come back and provide that kind of info, or perhaps stop at a website like Newegg or Amazon, or even Dell, HP, or Lenovo and look at what they have available and get some of those ideas.
"Best" is a highly relative thing and fairly individualized for the end user so, what might be best for me or anyone else might never be anything you'd even consider good or great.
How much money are you wanting to spend? What are you using it for?
X1 Yoga OLED. It's a great laptop to start with, but it can be more. Only the fact that I actually use it detached often means the Surface Book is usually my laptop of choice.
