What, no catnip?
@fmil There are a lot of more or less equivalent laptops that would run Sims 3 on ultra graphics settings, and the best choice is often the cheapest one among the group that you can find, or maybe the best-rated laptop among the cheapest. Which model that is depends to a large extent on the country and how manufacturers' prices compare to each other. HP makes decent gaming laptops these days, but Asus, Lenovo, Dell, and even Acer (sometimes) can be good options.
If you let me know your budget and country, or alternately some sites where you'd be willing to shop, I can look for other good options for you. Just checking the first site you linked though, this HP has essentially the same hardware the other—its processor is only a bit weaker overall and is probably a tiny bit better for Sims 3. But instead of the small SSD and large HDD, it has a single 512 GB SSD, which is more than enough for Sims 3 and any content you'd want to create or download.

This one is the same as the above HP except for a much stronger processor. That extra power would be lost on Sims 3, but if you're into video or heavy photo editing, it would speed up the process considerably.

But like I said, let me know if you'd like other options, and I'll do a more thorough search. And don't worry about the language barrier; specs look the same in any language that uses the Roman alphabet.
P.S. If you do want to buy one of the above laptops, don't order the Kaspersky antivirus software to go with it. Kaspersky causes all kinds of headaches, for Origin games and in plenty of other circumstances.
