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...
@markmuffin666 In the price range the original poster was considering, a laptop with an Nvidia 1650 would be a much better choice than one with a 1050. The newer card is significantly faster for gaming and has newer technologies that may be useful for other tasks. The only advantage of the 1050 is that laptops that contain one are usually cheaper, as you've seen.
Also, no one should ever play games while their laptop is resting on their lap, and that has nothing to do with any discomfort it might cause. Most laptop cooling systems perform much more efficiently when the bottom of the laptop is either exposed to air or resting on a hard flat surface.
Dell laptops are high quality and generally perform up to expectations. The main reason not to get them, at least in the U.S., is that they're more expensive than other similar options with the same hardware.
Oh i agree. My 1660 Ti Max Q is lesser than the regular 1660 Ti only because it runs 20 less degrees. But i was saying Hp you can get an i5 9300H with the 1050 cheap. With a backlit keyboard for 700$. Dell are way too expensive man. Tech changes every day. Acer and HP are the only ones i see with great reviews both being under $800. Luckily for The Sims 4. It isnt like red dead redemption 2 or skyrim or Forza 4 Horizon.. It isn't as demanding. Im looking for the sims 5 pushing the bar for graphics. I ran The Sims 3 with all 18 expansions... on a laptop. Some toshibia P series with aluminum case and it didnt get hot at all. It had an i7 with ddr3 ram and some graphic card i can't remember but ran on Ultra settings for hours. Didnt lag at all. Also fual fans on the cpu/gpu with pipes is the in thing now. HP, Dell, MSI, Lenovo all them have it. So the HP 15 inch is a great gaming laptop 😛 very big vents on the back. Very impressive for 700
