Laptop for sims 4
Hey everyone! I’m looking for advice on which laptop to pick.
I’ll mostly use it for everyday stuff — Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Zoom, web browsing, watching movies/TV shows — and occasionally for The Sims 4 (maybe Sims 2 or 3) with a bunch of expansions, mods, and custom content (around 15 GB total, with about 80% being CC).
I don’t really play other PC games — I have a PS5 for that — so this laptop doesn’t need to be a full-on gaming machine.
I just want something future-proof that’ll last me several years, and I’ll probably use it around 10 hours per week.
Of course, I want good value for the price too.
Here are the options I’m considering (all prices in PLN):

So… which one do you think is the best choice for my use case?
Is it worth paying more for the ASUS Vivobook with the OLED screen, or should I go for one of the gaming models with a dedicated GPU (like HP Victus or ASUS TUF), even if I’ll mostly just use it for everyday stuff and Sims?
Any thoughts or personal experiences would be super appreciated 🙏
