Best PC to run the Sims
I'm looking to buy a PC that can run the Sims 3 & 4 with all their respective packs. If anyone could please guide me I would really appreciate it.

@puzzlezaddict - I agree with what you say, standard non-gaming laptops like this Lenovo B5400 simply are not suited for gaming, unless it's very lightweight games.
There is a problem with laptops that people usually forget, and that is that they are very prone to overheating if/when they're forced to run games or other programs they're not made to handle. If a laptop is running on a very high temperature for months or years, it's potential lifespan will most likely be shortened considerably, maybe even cut in half.
I have two older low end laptops myself, and I haven't bothered to install anything more than the base game on any of them, because they seem to have enough to do with running that alone.
I also have a few Asus gaming laptops, and they're able to run the whole TS3 (=all EPs, all SPs and everything from the Store) pretty easily. But after I bought myself a good gaming desktop I mostly use the laptops only for lighter stuff like office programs, internet, watching videos etc.
