Best laptop for the sims 4!
@PinkKitchenAid It would be helpful to know what your dad is willing to pay for. I'd be surprised if he weren't comfortable with HP though—it's the second-leading seller of laptops, ahead of Dell (and behind Lenovo, by the way). But there's not much point in your picking out the perfect laptop for you if he's not going to agree to it. So ask him what he thinks of the HP, and let me know what his paramaters are.
It sounds like you might like a non-gaming laptop as well, or at least a laptop that doesn't present that way. The HP I linked can be upgraded ($80) to have an entry-level graphics card, not a whole lot faster than the integrated chip but somewhat beneficial because it would take over the graphics load from the processor.
In case HP isn't a viable option though, this is the Dell equivalent:
It can't be upgraded at the point of sale, although you could add more memory any time you wanted. By the way, the XPS laptops from Dell are hundreds more for the same hardware and a slightly smaller and lighter build.
In case you want to see a Dell gaming laptop that doesn't look like one, this one is $1,000 and has a graphics card capable of running Sims 4 on ultra settings:
Point is, there are plenty of options out there, once you know what you want and what your dad is willing to buy.
