@ripskiii04what country do you live in and what are you going to be doing on your laptop other than sims 4 what is your price range and your standards
@ripskiii04 That laptop wouldn't run Sims 4 well at all. Its hardware is six years old, and its integrated graphics chip likely couldn't handle more than low settings.
These laptops are all about $450 and would run the game on medium graphics settings, or maybe medium-high if you didn't have all the expansion packs. They have roughly equivalent processors with equal graphics chips, 8 GB memory, and a 256 GB solid state drive, which is enough space for Sims 4 and all its data. The biggest difference is the screen size.

There's not much that would be better than those until you get close to $600, at least not if you want a new or open-box laptop. If you'd like to see other options, let me know.
the laptop you asked about would cost 624.64$ american depending on where you are shipping to. Though it meets the minimum requirements for sims 4 I would not recommend it.
here is a list of laptops under 500$ american (If you would like the full list of good laptops under 500 heres the link https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/best-laptops-under-500) NOT SURE IF THESE ARE STILL FOR SALE OR NEW LIKELY THESE ARE ALL THE PRICES BEFORE SHIPPING
- Acer Aspire 5
- Acer Aspire E 15
- HP Stream 11
- Acer Swift 1
here are some suggestions
If you're willing to spend the full $900, not including sales tax,this will be great. Its Nvidia 1660 ti is overkill for Sims 4, it also has 16 GB RAM which is enough for the sims 4 and expansion packs.
Personally I would choose the Acer Aspire E because it is recommended for the sims 4 and is below 699.99$ including shipping. The graphics look amazing and is recomended for the sims 4
Newest Acer Aspire E 15 full HD laptop with 15.6" 1920x1080 Led-Blacklit Display, Intel core i3-8130u Up to 3.4GHz, 6Gb RAM, 1TB HDD, Webcam, DVD, USB, 3.1 Type-C, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, HDMI, Windows 10

The second is significantly over the preferred $500 budget and also has weaker hardware than the ones I listed.
- @puzzlezaddict Thank you for the correction
- @puzzlezaddict I saw the lenovo and would have recommended it as well but you had already done it
