Good laptops for Sims 4?
Hi, I am looking into getting a new laptop to use for both light work from home tasks that mainly use the internet and microsoft office but I also want to be able to play Sims 4 on it. Sims would be...
@roberta591 I actually haven't looked at too many Dells so I'll look a little more into them, thank you for the suggestion. The HP I found has a hard drive of 256 GB, here's the link I'm using to reference: https://store.hp.com/us/en/ConfigureView?orderItemId=147002562&catEntryId=3074457345619275819&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&contractId=10003&storeId=10151&fromURL=AjaxOrderItemDisplayView&ctoCacheInvalidationCnt=0.3825460107033287&selectedRecommConfig=,
I also found another Acer but it may run in to some of the same problems as the other two:

Yeah, I apologize if I'm providing insufficient details. What I mean by "I only want to play Sims" is that while it can be a demanding game (which I understand), I won't be installing any other big softwares or games.
@beesmart3 What I meant is Sims 4 is more demanding then most 3D graphical games so the requirements are higher then entry level gaming machines. Being a laptop you have to think high because unlike a typical desktop there usually is no upgrade path. I'm getting an error trying to check the HP. My mother bought a HP laptop and paid a lot of money for it. It was returned to HP under warranty twice in 12 months for motherboard failure. At 18 months the motherboard failed again and HP refused warranty service. I bought her a Dell laptop. The Acer looks to be good at the 8Gb/512Gb SSD. Please check how the warranty service is handled.
