Which of the following labtops would be best to run the sims 4

Hi guys! So I am finally making the switch from console to computer. I was just wondering which of the 3 labtops I found is better to run The Sims 4 plus mods and packs on medium setting. Also, feel free to give other options that you think would be better than the following. I am wanting a labtop within the 500 dollar range, preferably no higher than $530

1 - Acer Aspire 3 Laptop, 15.6" Full HD, 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Home, A315-56-594W (Renewed)


2 - Asus X512DA-BTS2020RL 15.6" Full HD Laptop – AMD Ryzen 5 - AMD Radeon Vega 8 - 512GB PCIe SSD – 8GB RAM

3 - Refurbished Dell Latitude E5440 Laptop, WA5-0761,14'', Intel Core i7-4600U Processor, 8GB Memory, 500GB Hard Drive, Windows 10 Pro

  • @BigCaptalistMan  The second one is the best of the three, at least by the specs you've listed.  (I'm guessing its processor is a 2500U or 3500U, and the graphics chip in that processor should handle medium settings.)  You might do marginally better for $500, but likely not for $350, unless you want to look for options on Ebay.

    If you'd like other suggestions, I can take a look, and feel free to ask.  But at best, you'd probably only get around a 10-15% improvement for the extra money.  The gaming laptops with more powerful hardware are usually $650 and up.
