Re: Best laptop for the Sims 4? (UK, <£500)
@strangebrooch The most important detail in determining how well a laptop will run Sims 4 is the graphics card or chip, and in your price range, this is actually a relatively simple matter. Dedicated cards only show up in more expensive machines, so your best options have fast integrated chips (integrated into the processor), capable of medium-high to high graphics settings. These should all run Sims 4 roughly the same, plus or minus a few percentage points depending on how the manufacturer tuned the machine:

The second one has the best screen of the group, although all of them are good enough. The last three are refurbished, but you said you didn't mind.
If you don't like any of these, let me know what details matter, and I'll have another look around. And if you have more questions in general, please feel free to ask.
