@skyea01  I think it would be a good option if it had a larger hard drive.  128 GB is barely enough for Windows and Sims 4, even without any custom content.  If you added anything else other than small apps like browsers, or you even took a lot of screenshots in-game, you could run out of space very quickly.

There are other laptops for the same price that have the same hardware but a larger hard drive, if you're interested.  For example, this is the same model as the one you linked, except its hard drive is twice as big and it's £30 cheaper:

Other alternatives look more like gaming laptops:

I'd be happy to do a more thorough search if you want; I just didn't think you were interested in gaming laptops.

      @skyea01  I think it should be a good laptop for Sims 4 and all your school needs.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
