Re: Buying a new laptop: Is OMEN HP 15-en0011 np good?

@texxx78  I read your original comment where you were more detailed in your request (1660 ti or better, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD), and I found exactly one laptop that fit the description, at a couple different stores:

This is a quality laptop and should all current and future Sims 4 content, plus however many mods and however much custom content you can download, on ultra graphics settings, with plenty of room to spare.

The catch is, it doesn't come with Windows 10 already installed.  But installing yourself is trivial, and for 950€, you'd still have enough room in your budget for a Windows 10 key.  You could actually save a bit of money by buying an older install medium, e.g. a key and USB stick from 2017, but making your own installer to use instead.  (This is also trivial.)

If you don't like the above laptop, this is an alternative, although it's a bit more expensive and only comes with 8 GB RAM.  Still, the memory is upgradable now or later, and installing another RAM module is also a simple task.

I didn't see any laptops with a 1660 ti in your price range, which is a bit surprising, but then I only checked the Portuguese websites I could find while googling in English.  If you'd like me to look at other sites, feel free to link them.  And if you have more questions, please do ask.
