Best budget laptop for Sims 4 ($600-$800 budget)

@livnatlgame  I don't have personal experience with either of these, but the Acer has hardware that's much faster, and four years newer, than the Dell.  The graphics chip in the Acer is 3-4 times faster in gaming, depending on the game and who ran the benchmark, so it's not even a competition.  And such a newer machine should last a longer as well, although there's never a guarantee.

I do want to mention that you could get a proper gaming laptop, even one with 16 GB RAM, for under $800 as well, for example one of these:

I haven't done a thorough search since I don't know that you'd want one of these at all; I'm just mentioning it in case you're interested in expanding.
