Re: Best pcs for sims 4?
@juliettedenham You could get a laptop that would run Sims 4 on ultra graphics settings for somewhere in the £700-800 range, depending on exactly what features you wanted. But it would have a 15" or 17" screen. Gaming laptops, even entry-level ones, don't come in 13" chassis, at least not until you get into a much higher price range. (That also goes for MacBook Pros: the 16" version is the only one with a dedicated graphics card.)
Asus has recently released a 14" gaming laptop, if you'd like to see. It's £1,100 in the Asus store, but the site offers student discounts. This model is also lighter than most gaming laptops and has what should be excellent battery life. Whether that's worth the markup depends on your personal preferences.
For desktops, there are a lot more options, from prebuilt models in stores to somewhat customizable options from name-brand companies to custom-built systems from third-party vendors. Prebuilds are usually cheaper but may have lower-end components; choosing a custom build means higher quality parts, plus you get exactly what you want. Again, whether it's worth the premium depends on the person. How much more expensive also changes depending on inventory and too many other factors to track.
One thing that you can count on though is that you'll do better with a separate tower than an all-in-one. The latter is basically a laptop in desktop form, with the same disadvantages but without the bonus of portability. Towers can be maintained much more easily, they're upgradable, they have better cooling, and they come in a lot more configurations, at least once you get into the gaming system range.
