Yes, you can download the game for free onto your new laptop; buying the PC version of Sims 4 gives you the right to play in both Windows and macOS. You can manually transfer your saves, builds, etc. to your new install as well.

P.S. That's a nice laptop, capable of running all TS4 packs on ultra graphics settings.
