Appropriate laptop for Sims 4?
Hi, I'm on the lookout for a laptop which will run Sims 4 with expansion packs and CC without problems? I'm not too keen on the look of the gaming laptops/they are very bulky and would like to use i...

@Tally9611 Whether the upgrade is worth the price depends on whether you want to play on higher graphics settings. For practical purposes, the gap in speed between the MX350 and MX450 is the difference between turning up one or two settings to the next higher level. (Some settings are more demanding of the graphics card than others.) If it doesn't matter that much to you, then save the £100. If you want to get the best game performance you can out of the laptop, then the upgrade is relatively cheap for the benefit.
And yes, the laptop is mostly the same model, other than the processor. But that shouldn't make any difference to Sims 4.
I see, sorry this must sound dumb but what would be the benefits of going for 11th gen i5 over 10th gen processor? I will be using my laptop for work which will involve using a remote server and opening a lot of files/currently uploading videos and doing Google meets.
@Tally9611 The 11th-gen processor is a bit stronger than the 10th-gen model, in the sort of incremental way that's usually true of Intel CPUs. I don't think it should make any difference to the tasks you have planned. Where it would help is with processor-heavy tasks, e.g. compiling code, editing videos, that sort of thing. For opening files and doing Google Meets, you could use an iPad; the speed of video uploads is really only dependent on your internet speed. If you were zipping large files, you might notice a difference in the CPUs, but really only if you timed the process.
