MSI Gaming G series GE70. If you can find one with similar specs you should be OK on medium. I've played on this laptop for months before going to a Desktop and it worked great. Make sure it's plugged in or it will go into power saving mode and the performance will suck. I've provided a link but you might want to check the specs and see if there is another machine out there that can give you more for your money. If you can get a desktop do it. You'll get better performance for the money. But as someone that has both I still jump on my laptop as much as my PC to play Ark.

the 1060's are kind of high priced right now, if you want to save a bit more money but still see a massive boost in performance, i'd recommend the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING 4GB, its got an extra gig of memory and runs at USD 159.99 on amazon right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MF7EQJZ
A laptop with a 1080 gtx and possibly an i7 or i9.
These might help:

The original post indicated 5-10 players which is not the same as a turn on when you need it solution like yours. Electricity costs do wipe out any cost savings in a 24/7 operation unless someone else is paying for your electricity. Get a device like a Kill-a-watt: http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU
and you will become much more aware of what the true cost of electricity is for different devices. High-end computers are really pretty bad for electronics devices, not that this will stop me from getting GPUs that require 600 watt+ power supplies. Servers aren't so bad because they lack a GPU typically and have no need of a monitor. But I'd imagine for ARK, it would be running at high utilization instead of idling and therefore consuming more power.
https://www.amazon.com/G752VS-G-SYNC-Gaming-Laptop-i7-6820HK/dp/B01K1JW3PO?th=1 Thats what I run. I love the ASUS ROG rigs.
Just call it a day and get a 1TB ssd for Ark. That way you can have all DLCs and a metric ton of mods downloaded without having to worry about it.
