@gtgirl1999 Sigh. You said in your first post that you know nothing about Mac. I'm trying to help you make an informed decision and not buy an outdated model Mac which will not play the game as well as the current model with M1 chip.Yes, Apple brought out a 2020 model MacBook Air with Intel chip back in March. That model is not the current generation MacBook Air - Apple no longer sell it or manufacture it. They now manufacture a MacBook Air with an M1 chip which outperforms the previous model by miles. This is why retailers, like QVC, are offering discounts on the older model. Maybe this page on Apple's website will help - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201862You asked for help, I'm trying to help you with accurate technical information. Good luck with whatever Mac you buy. This support page from Apple is very helpful for Windows users switching to using Macs https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204216

That's an older model Mac. The current MacBook Airs have the new M1 chip in and play the game well.

The new one has an M1 chip (I have one) - https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/

Retailers are offloading stock of the Intel equipped models at discounted prices because it's not new tech. If it's a MacBook Air you're after, get one with an M1 chip, the game runs much better on it than the Intel MacBook Air.

According to the specs that is not the case. Also the other 4 answers state that QVC customer service is wrong.

This computer will run Sims 4, but not very well, and not nearly as well as the much cheaper ($999) M1 MacBook Air. Everything @Bluebellflora said is correct.

It's your money, and your choice what to do with it. But if you want decent performance rather than lag and frequent crashes, an M1 Mac is the much better choice.
