Hey Guys?
So I’m looking for a new laptop to play both The Sims 3 and also Paralives whenever it’s released, as my seven-year-old Acer definitely is starting to die. I’ve checked all these laptops on pcgamebenchmark.com and they all meet the minimum requirements for both games. However, I’m also going to need to use this laptop for school work come September once I go to college. My maximum budget is £600 because a) I think I can get together that much by the time I start college and b) my parents said so ?
Would be really helpful and kind if from this long list below anyone could tell me which laptops to definitely avoid and which to consider cause I’m really not sure and I need to start narrowing it down.
