Will Sims 4 run on this computer?

Been looking for a pc and came across this one. I would only use it for Sims 4 + some expansion packs and some basic video editing. Acer Aspire XC-886 I5422 - Intel Core i5-9400 - Intel UHD Grap...

    @Margreet_m  The first one is better overall.  An Nviida 1650 is about 40% faster for gaming than a 1050, and it can run Sims 4 (all packs included) on ultra settings with some room to spare.  I know you don't need ultra settings, but it's nice to have.  And as the game gets more demanding with the release of future packs, the difference may well be noticeable enough to affect your enjoyment of the game.  The two processors are equivalent in performance.

    I don't know what storage those laptops have, but 256 GB is more than enough for Sims 4 and any mods and custom content you'd want to add.

@puzzlezaddict I narrowed it down to two laptops. I thought about it and did some more research and a laptop will be the easiest for me.

ACER Nitro 5 (AN515-43-R6G5)
- AMD Ryzen 5 3550H
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

Lenovo Ideapad L340-15IRH 81LK0150MH
- Intel Core i5-9300HF
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

In terms of processor and graphics card, what would be the best choice?

    @puzzlezaddict The Acer has 512GB SSD so that should be enough. Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it!
