Re: Will Sims 4 run on this computer?

@Margreet_m  The Acer would probably accommodate a dedicated card if you wanted to buy one separately, but of course that would raise the price.  If you did upgrade it, the Acer would be a much better option than the Lenovo.  However, the Lenovo's GTX 1050 makes it better for Sims than the Acer.  While the Intel UHD 630 could run Sims 4 on medium settings, and maybe only barely, the 1050 should be able to handle either ultra or a mix of high and ultra settings.  The 1050 is about 400% faster in gaming.

If you'd like, I can look at sites in the Netherlands and see what's available.  Just link me the sites you might buy from.  Or, if you prefer, you can link a few models you're considering, and I'll take a look.

@puzzlezaddict I kind of know what I have to look for if I would like to play the game with high and/or ultra settings. However, that's not necessarily what I need. If Intel UHD 630 can run the game smoothly in medium, than I'm fine with that as well. It's just that I have no experience with a graphics card like that so I'm not sure.

My MacBook Air has the following specs and, for me, the game played really well and I didn't mind the lower settings. I just don't want to risk the lifespan of the laptop.
- Intel Core i5
- Intel UHD Graphics 617

So would Intel UHD Graphics 630 perform better than the 617? 

@Margreet_m  The UHD 630 is definitely better than the UHD 617.  It's still not even as fast as a Radeon Vega 8 graphics chip though, let alone one of the dedicated graphics cards.  If you're fine playing on medium settings, or maybe low-medium in a year or two (as more demanding packs are released), then it'll work.  Or if you're planning on buying a dedicated card at some later point, the Acer will certainly hold up in the interim.  Just don't expect the game to look great.
