Best laptop to play sims 4
@Beerica2 I would avoid the IdeaPad Slim (second link) for a couple reasons, including that it has a low-quality screen. I would also avoid the Yoga Evo S7i because Intel's Arc GPUs still have some issues that need to be fixed, especially with older games. If you like troubleshooting, it's fine, but if you want something to work the first time, it's best to stick with Nvidia or AMD, or even Intel Xe graphics.
Of the other two, the LOQ is significantly faster than the Yoga Slim, which you already know. Despite the product page, the Yoga should have Xe graphics based on its processor and its 16 GB RAM, which is good enough for medium-high graphics with all current Sims 4 content installed. Still, you can find better graphics than the Yoga along with a 14" screen, for example this has the same graphics card as the LOQ:

The graphics chips in these laptops are faster than the graphics in the Yoga Slim, with the chip in the last two being only maybe 20% slower than the RTX 2050. The chip in the first is about 25% slower than that, but still more than 50% faster than the Intel Xe graphics in the Yoga. This is a significant margin when you're looking to go from medium to high or high to ultra graphics settings.

I don't know whether you want a 2-in-1 or expressly do not, but those seem to be most of the options with the newest AMD processors and graphics chips, at least currently in the Australian market. If not, the last one is a great option, lightweight (1.38 kg) with a beautiful, high-resolution screen. The first has a brighter screen than the second, but neither is in the same category as the OLED of the third.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
