affordable laptop recommendations for sims 4?
- 3 months ago
@123lilly456 None of these are good options. The first is the best of the group, but its graphics chip is significantly slower than the ones I listed. The second has a Celeron CPU, a couple tiers down. The third and fourth are somewhat old, two significant generational improvements behind the best options available now.
If you're willing to buy refurbished, these are the kind of option I was talking about earlier, with 16 GB RAM and an iGPU that's reasonably fast for integrated graphics:
You can do a bit better new though, still for under $700 AUD. These have twice the storage and are one or two generations newer, which doesn't make their graphics any faster but does suggest the laptops will receive support for longer. Options 1-3 are the same other than color, as are 4-7; I've listed all of them in case some are sold out near you.

I checked the sites you linked and a few others I know about and didn't find anything better, or really any other models at all. It looks like the MSI is on sale in a number of places, probably to clear inventory, but it is a good option in general and great at this price point.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
