@igazor Hello, I really need your help... Would this laptop run The Sims 3 with all expansion packs/stuff packs/store content (I only use all worlds and premium content sets/objects/venues) + Mods, CC and Custom Worlds at Ultra Settings properly? Thanks in advance

It would be expected to run the entire game as well or better than any other laptop in its high-end class possibly can. Once we get past certain hardware barriers, what holds things back are the game's programming and how far we can realistically take a 32-bit application on any system.

The only thing that is making me twitch is the price. It's nice that it's "marked down" from €5070 to €2023 and while it's far more powerful than would ever be needed or useful for TS3 alone, that just seems like a really strange pricing strategy. I wouldn't have any way of knowing if this is really a reputable place to shop for computers in Italy. You had a thread going with @puzzlezaddict a few weeks ago where she was finding you some very suitable laptops that were just slightly more than half of that "discounted" price. Those suggestions did not end up being useful as starting points?

Sorry if that isn't entirely helpful, some stores here in the US do this as well. My pharmacy/drug store is reputable but they are always telling me that I am saving 40-50% on things that I buy there by comparing them to an inflated price that no one would ever pay unless their life depended on that exact brand of shampoo, cotton balls, or whatever. The difference is that they waste my time and make themselves look silly over a couple of dollars here and there, while when we talk about purchases like this the difference is in the thousands of dollars/euros. :/
