wow thank you you’re so helpful!
the specs i’ve kinda been looking for are 16gb, above like 3ghz turbo boost (i think i’m not sure) and like 512gb.
ive found graphics cards really hard to understand tbh, your explanation is really helpful but slightly going over my head ahaha.
in a laptop i’m looking for something like portable and sleek for my schoolwork and lots of essay writing but i also really want to be able to play the sims with all the packs and mods + cc etc while still being able to play on moderately high settings. i’m not even sure if that’s like possible for my price i looked at a few of your links and some looked really good so i’m going to look into them but i do really like the look of the huaweii one i originally linked (it also has a free watch which is nice ahaha) but know nothing about graphics cards.
do you think that it is a bad option for the sims? as i think it’d be great for my schoolwork but i do really want to play the sims.
thank you for all your help btw i really appreciate it
@lily_wray330 The Huawei is not a bad choice out of context, as in, it would in fact run Sims 4 and all packs. I happen think it's not a good choice at all for the cost: no matter what you want in a laptop, you can do better for an equal or lower price. If you're worried about having only 8 GB RAM, you can easily upgrade any of the other laptops, or pay to have someone upgrade it, and still save money overall.
Memory is the easiest component to upgrade, and the cheapest, so there's no reason to choose a laptop based on installed RAM. Not only are the other components (processor and graphics card) more critical to how well a computer will run Sims 4, they usually can't be upgraded in a laptop, so you're stuck with what you buy.
If you want portable and sleek, then the other lightweight laptops would be better. The Asus Zephyrus is almost as light as the Huawei and much more powerful; the Acer Swift 5 is lighter than Huawei and has a somewhat faster graphics card. I understand you don't know much about graphics cards, but gaining almost 300% in performance (from the Huawei to the Asus Zephyrus) speaks for itself. Even the difference between the Huawei's card and the one in the Acer Swift could mean the difference between medium-high and high settings, although it's sometimes harder to see the difference when the margin is smaller.
