Hello,
I'm currently looking for laptops to play the Sims 4 and all expansions on. I want to future proof a bit too. I have found some that I think look ok and am just after some advice as to whether they are actually any good for what I want. Any suggestions of others would be great too. I'm looking at up to £600 (could go a little over that). The ones I've looked at are:

Thanks in advance
rachk116 The first laptop is the best of the three because the RTX 3050 is significantly faster than the 2050, especially at a 1920x1080 resolution. The graphics card will be the limiting factor in determining how well Sims 4 runs most of the time (there are some CPU-heavy loads, but those come and go), so that's the most important detail here. You're also not going to see a better graphics card for under maybe £750 or so, at least not in the new market and not right now.
Point is, the Victus is a great choice for your budget, and if you like it overall, go ahead and get it.
I do want to say that some Victus laptops have an issue with Sims 4 freezing on a white screen after launch. The issue has a few workarounds and therefore isn't a reason to avoid the model entirely. But if you do have that problem, put the laptop in night mode before trying to play, or change these settings:

Managed to fix my problem where it crashes during launch after update | EA Forums - 4998584
Thanks puzzlezaddict . That was the one I was leaning towards. It seems like a very good deal. I hope the white screen won't be an issue. It does make me a little nervous about buying that one but if there is a work around, I guess that's ok.
Just to say, I bit the bullet and went for the HP from Argos ( https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3268753?clickSR=slp:term:victus%2015-fa0021na:1:5:1 ). Had a good play on the sims 4 and EPs with CC and so far so good. No problems with freezing yet 🤞🤞. Hoping it will stay that way. Thanks again for the advice.
