@KaayiBee The desktop is much better than the laptop for Sims 4, in that the laptop would barely run the game at all. The processor is weak for the game, its integrated graphics chip is even weaker, and 4 GB memory isn't nearly enough to run all or most expansions together. Besides, for that price, you could probably do significantly better.
The desktop would be a very good option if it had a dedicated graphics card, which it doesn't. In theory, you could add one, but it looks like you'd need a new power supply unless you got a very low-end card: the 200W power supply (according to the Dell manual) wouldn't be sufficient for most GPUs. As is, the integrated card would handle medium settings, but that's about it.
How much are you willing to spend, and would you prefer a laptop or a desktop? If you want, I can look for better options for you. Aside from playing Sims 4, your graphic design work might benefit greatly from a dedicated card, depending on how much graphics processing power your work needs. Just let me know what you're looking for.
