Fallout 1 & 2 (Because even though you have a decent laptop, Fallout 3 is out of the question)
Planescape: Torment
Grim Fandango
Sid Meier's Pirates!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: (Either one)
I'm also going to recommend that you give Oblivion another shot, I'm not quite sure what you found boring about it, because the story is pretty good in my opinion, and I've never found a lack of combat. If you think you were bored because there was nothing to do that simply means you didn't look. Oblivion isn't the type of game where it holds your hand the entire time, it gives you alot of freedoms, and I recommend you give it another go.
Deus Ex. everyone MUST play this game. It's required by the American Constitution. (J/k for people who don't like jokes..)
Half Life 1 & 2
Far Cry
F.E.A.R.
SWAT 4
DUKE NUKEM 3D
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Command & Conquer: Renegade
DOOM 3
Indigo Prophecy
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines (This is another game I recommend everyone should play)
Thief 1, 2, or 3
There's so many more, I just don't feel like typing anymore....
