@MadDoctor61 - On the Ideapad, it's going to depend on which expansions. They take different tolls and performance hits. Its processor just barely meets the recommended requirements for Pets, the heaviest hitting of all of the EPs (followed in order by Seasons, ITF, and IP). The weak spot is its graphics card. An R5 is integrated, slightly stronger than the more commonly seen Intel integrated chips of its time, but still just that. Different players will have different experiences and expectations on that one. I would think that the four EPs mentioned above would be out of the question, but some have managed to get them going, others find their game starts to stall out on Pets and Seasons.
The brother's gaming system would be unknown unless we knew more about its specs in turn.
