    Hi Eiseno, welcome to the forum!

    This really depends on multiple factors, more than just the polycount; other things you need to consider:
    • Texture sizes
    • Material channels used (normal, spec, height and so on (all count!))
    • Efficient programming (If the code isn't optimized it can cause just as much FPS drop as anything else!)
    • Rig sizes (Number of joints and many other settings like vertex blending)
    • Camera effects (SSAO, bloom and so on)
    • Particles.
    My point being is that a game consists of many factors, just the models aren't the only thing you shoulder consider. You can of course look at existing games and see what what the required hardware is (I would recommend getting a few of the Free Unity demos off the asset store and comparing quality), but my advice would be to get your new laptops and work with what they can run.
