Will Dell Inspiron 11 3000 work for Sims 3 Pets?

    @mimithorn The Dell "laptop" is really under powered to the point it may be called a net book. The Intel® Celeron® Processor N3050 is under powered and the celeron is the least powerful of the Intel line - this could (probably) cause issues in game play and PETS is a very demanding pack. A gaming computer should have at least 4Gb of memory (yours has 2Gb and may not be expandable) and with DDR4 coming to market and the video chip (integrated with the cpu) sharing 2Gb of memory could (probably) cause issues. 32Gb of "hard drive" space is way to small for a gaming computer. You WILL run out of store space. The integrated Intel® HD Graphics is known to have issues with TS3 and with a weak processor it's almost certain you will have performance issues. TS3 by itself is demanding and PETS just increases the demands on the computer. I would not recommend that "laptop" for any 3D graphical gaming.

    Thanks! I don't have the computer mentioned just looking for a cheap one the kids can use to play the game. I know you get what you pay for. I'll have to look for something a little more expensive but kid proof thanks again!
