Good laptop for sims 4 and school
Hi, I’m struggling trying to look for a new laptop that would be good for playing sims 4 and using it for college needs too. I’m looking for something that won’t lag/crash while playing sims 4 and something that can handle some cc and mods. I would prefer a laptop with a minimalistic look to it. I live in the US and the price range would be maximum $800. Suggestions? Thanks
@Marisarose3994 I'm sorry for the late reply. I ran out of time yesterday and couldn't do a thorough search, and I didn't want to give you half an answer.
The one you've linked would certainly run all your Sims 4 content, but not nearly as well as other models in the same price range. That laptop would have been a good choice two years ago; it's just been surpassed by a significant margin. For example, this one is almost the same price and has a graphics card that's about 75% faster in gaming, one that should run all Sims 4 packs together on medium-high settings.

This one is more expensive, but aside from having the same processor and graphics chip as the Acer above, it comes with 16 GB RAM, and it's a bit smaller as well:
There are also quite a few gaming laptops in your price range that don't scream "gaming laptop" when you look at them. Some are more subtle than others, and since I don't know your taste, I'll list all of these and you can cross off any that are too obvious.

The 1650 ti in the third laptop is a bit faster than the regular 1650, and the 3050 is significantly faster than that, but they should all be able to handle all current Sims 4 packs on ultra settings. The Legion is the most highly rated overall of the group, but it also weighs more than the others.
There are a lot of choices out there, especially in the category of non-gaming laptops like the first two I linked. So if you have something else in mind and would like to see any particular details, feel free to ask. More questions in general are always fine.
