That one is not as good. I personally can't recommend it.
I'd still go with this model Dell I linked to before -

If you're trying to stick within a budget of $600-$800 then you may want to go with a desktop. As you'll be able to get a better computer for "cheaper" than an equivalent laptop, plus desktops are easier to upgrade than laptops.
Here's a desktop I found -

Is the one you posted better? Is the laptop better? It looks fine. One minor caveat is that the power supply is a bit weak which means that if you in the future wish to upgrade the Graphics card then the PSU also needs upgrading. However the current card will run every current game just fine.
The laptop @172e3cda00349872 suggested will work very well.
I personally believe it is better for you to get a laptop that has an Intel core i5 at least, so that the game should run smoothly. However, I would always go for the highest number, so there may be less crashes and glitches. Plus, it is much cheaper than getting a desktop, and a laptop is much more portable and easy to use. The desktop is a bit more unreliable as it requires the CD's from the game to work, while a laptop only requires them once, and only to download them. I mean, the CD's for the game and expansion are very easy to lose, and the laptop, or the origin application, will save and keep the progress intact, once the game and expansion packs are downloaded, so for me the laptop is a much safer choice. 🙂
That is not correct a Laptop and a Desktop with similar specs will cost about the same. The big difference is that a Desktop can be easily upgraded were a laptop has very limited possibility for upgrading.
Also it is untrue that a Desktop requires the DVDs (It does not come on CD) Once the Code is redeemed on Origin the DVDs are not required because the game can be installed thru Origin.
- Ol, thabks I want this one the most. On a scale from 1-5 how good will it run the game? For your information I have all expansions and game packs and two stuff packs. All I would do on this laptop is play Sims 4 and torchlight 2 and also watch shows and videos. I download my sims games from origin and don’t have any gaming disks.
Thank you all so much ♥️
-maiya This is one that you've asked about before, earlier in the thread. It will play the game on high/ultra.
My main concern is the 256GB solid state hard drive seems to be the only hard drive in the system. This is a concern if you plan on having a lot of data files ( game saves, mods, cc, photos, game videos, etc.) plus other programs that might take up a lot of hard drive space.
Though you might be able to upgrade to a 500 GB solid state hard drive later though if you start running out of room, or putting less used data on an external hard drive.
With only the two mentioned games installed there will be room enough for school work and other stuff.

I know I have ended this discussion kinda so thnks if you reply AGAIN. I want the computer I posted earlier but I am looking for it cheaper on different websites. So is this the same computer??? This is not the same Dell laptop I linked to from Amazon.
This particular model (Dell Inspiron 15 5570) has an integrated video card and may not run the game well.
- How is this computer compared to the one I might get?

While it may run and play the game okay with integrated graphics for a little while you could run into problems that may make it up and quit running the game.
The game isn't finished yet, there's lots of packs yet to be released, and required game and Origin updates that can make under powered computers not run the game.
This is why we recommend the computer have dedicated graphics.
I've tried the cheaper computer thing. It was terrible. It could play base game (on low graphics), but not the additional packs. Plus had issues with the bigger game patches and Origin updates. The laptop didn't have good airflow so it got fairly hot, like almost fry an egg hot. - Not good!!
I decided from that to save my money and get a gaming laptop that had over recommended specs and good airflow and have been happy with it and the gaming experience it gives.
The Dell linked below (the one we talked about before) somewhat exceeds the recommended specs.
The only known issue I see is the hard drive is small and may cause problems when it comes to saving data files.
However, it can be replaced later with a 500 GB or bigger hard drive.
