Re: Good laptop for Sims 3+expansion packs

  • Hi thank u for your insight I also am looking into the gaming laptops I want ultra high settings and graphics for let’s plays . A bunch of mods and all the expansion packs Budget is 500-900 is this a good laptop?  I’m stuck between this and Lenova I know that the sims only uses like 2.9 of ram https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086KJBKDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_SS2VW4KVQ7ZTA0A2DK94. But the most important is the space for my game and the mods and the graphics

    @younglor  The graphics card in this laptop is much faster than the one in the laptop you linked previously; it should have no trouble with ultra settings, minus the two (water and high-detail lots) that need to be disabled to keep the game engine from being overloaded.  The only hesitation I might have is that buying from a third-party seller on Amazon doesn't always go well, but if you have Prime, you have good protection on that front.

    Since you're here though, I found a couple other options worth mentioning:

    https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-i5-10300H-Keyboard-FX706LI-RS53/dp/B08ZLFLF7L

    https://www.walmart.com/ip/797151449

    https://www.newegg.com/phantom-black-lenovo-legion-5-15imh05h-81y600p3cf-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834645826

    The 1650 ti is a little faster than the regular 1650, the 3050 is somewhat faster than that, and the 1660 ti is faster than the 3050.  The build quality of the Asus models is similar to the Acer's; the Legion is better than the others.  But they should all be more than fine, and all significantly better than any laptop with only integrated graphics.

    @younglor  Sold by Newegg/shipped by Newegg means the same thing as sold by Amazon/shipped by Amazon: Newegg itself is the seller, there's no third party involved.

    I've never bought a laptop from Newegg, but I have bought several computer components, as have a couple of my friends.  The biggest complaint I've had is that something took over a week to get here because it sat in a distribution center for four or five days waiting to be transferred from one delivery service to another.  That's certainly sloppy, but it's not a reason to avoid the website.

    Newegg support is... less than stellar, but your laptop would come with a warranty from Lenovo, so it's not a huge deal.
