@1fallqueen Thank you SO much for helping out! The last Acer model looks very decent. And I still hope to see some pictures from your game soon! :)
@xocutiepiexo Sorry I haven't responded back in a while, I've been lurking on my own thread since I've been so busy. I've also been looking for laptops for you. I hate how Windows 7 is so rare to find with a dedicated graphics, and when you do find one, the laptop costs more than if it had Windows 8 (it's all a force strategy). That's the same exact problem I had when buying mine recently. I kept noticing how all your searches have a laptop with Windows 7, I'm doing my best to look for one specifically with that. It took me over a week to find my perfect laptop with Windows 7, so hopefully you're not in any rush, I'm sure SOMETHING will come around. Windows 8 isn't so bad with Sims 3. But you will run into some kind of problem, it's a new OS, what else can you expect. My mindset was that I've already spent over hundreds of dollars on my Sims 3 games, I wanted an OS that I KNOW will work with Sims 3 flawlessly. And I'm sure the EA developers will still use Windows 7 to create future Sims 3 games because they just can't shift to a new OS, the coding will slightly be different so it'll throw everything off. Maybe to support Sims 4, yes. But we have a long way until then. As of now, here's a site you should keep your eye out on:

They sold out two models with Windows 7 & 630M that I was just looking at yesterday... so a daily check might show new stockings.
