Great decent looking laptop for sims 4

Hey

I am looking for a new laptop that can easily run sims 4 even with all expansion packs and lots of mods, preferably on high graphic settings. I want a powerfull laptop but I don't like the gaming laptops since in my opinion they are targeted teenaged boys by design. That of course gives me some limits, but I have been looking at the Lenovo yoga slim 7i ProX which is a 14,5'' laptop with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphic card. I can get it for around 1733 € in Denmark: Lenovo yoga slim 7i ProX 

What do you think? Will it be good enough for my needs or do you have other suggestions for a decent-looking laptop? around 14'' screen size preferably.

I also did look for other threads, but they are a few years old so they might be a bit outdated. :-)

    It is way overkill for the Sims 4. If you can afford it and have other more demanding needs than just the Sims 4 go for it. Look for sales in places like Elgiganten and Power and maybe online. I personally like Proshop. If you find something else you like you are welcome to ask me.

    Thanks for the reply. Good to know that it might be too much :-)

    I mostly came across this because it has a dedicated graphics card, and I was recommended to look for that. Besides sims maybe CS:Go and some photoshop/lightroom, but that would probably be it for now.

    My current MacBook Air is really struggling, so I did think I would get better value for money buying a windows laptop

    You definitely need a dedicated graphic card. Depending on exactly what you do in Photoshop it may not be over the top and CS:Go is also a bit more demanding of the hardware than the Sims 4. This is somewhat cheaper https://www.elgiganten.dk/product/computer-kontor/computere/barbar-computer/lenovo-yoga-slim-7i-pro-i7-12165122050-14-barbar-computer/455550 

    It will have no problems with any of what you stated. I assume that you specified 14" because of weight concerns. Just be aware that these slim laptops can have an issue with heat when you play. You can alleviate this by getting a cooling stand for it. I recommend not gaming when placed on fabric.

    BTW I will see your answer sooner if you tag me.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have also come across that one before. I might give it a month to see if some discounts or offers come up. :-)
    I was worried about how the performance would be if I chose that kind of small PC, but I would prefer something like that or at least a ‘neutral’ looking PC. It is a good tip with the cooling stand and not using it on fabric.

    Remember that Black Friday is coming up later this month if you can wait that long.
