    @MaertaPet  That's definitely a very good option.  Its performance would be a few percentage points slower than that of the Asus Zephyrus due to basic software and settings, but with a 1650 ti, you'd have plenty of breathing room anyway.  Its processor is stronger than the others mentioned as well, although that won't affect Sims 4.

    If you like it the best, then there's no reason not to get it.

@MaertaPet  If you're willing to go up to 13,000 kr, this one is a true gaming laptop and should be able to run Sims 4 on ultra settings:

It's well-rated both in performance and overall, it has an excellent battery life for a gaming laptop, and it's lightweight and sleek.

This is its somewhat more expensive upgraded version, definitely overkill for Sims 4 but worth mentioning because it's the same price as the one you linked:

If you don't like the Zephyrus, this MSI has a gaming graphics card (an Nvidia 1650) as well, significantly faster than the MX350 and a bit slower than the 1650 ti in the first Zephyrus above.  It's not a gaming laptop though, it's a lightweight productivity laptop with a GPU for handling graphics-intensive tasks that also happens to run games quite well.

This Acer is also worth mentioning: it has the same MX350 as the Zenbook, but its cooling is a bit better.  I'd pick any of the above before this one, but in case you like it better:

@puzzlezaddict Thank you so much for your suggestions!

I found this computer from Dell and I really like it. To me the specs look good, but I would love if someone with actual knowledge could tell me wether this is good or not. Is it dated?

I had some trouble with the link, but I hope it works. It’s the Dell Inspiron 15 7000.

    @puzzlezaddict Omg I just bought it! I’m so exited (even though it’s expected to arrive middle to late April). Thank you so much for all your help throughout my search, I would have been very lost otherwise. I’m so grateful this community has such active and caring members.
