laptop for the sims 4?
Since other people seem to be getting responses I thought I’d give this a try lol. I’m currently searching for a new laptop for school since I gave my old one away. I’ve been bouncing between either ...
Honestly tharAcer seems like best option but since my father is paying for it I was also looking at a cheaper one as a backup lol. What do think about thins one?
@skajsms I definitely wouldn't get this laptop you've linked. In terms of hardware, it's a couple classes below the cheaper options I listed, much less the gaming laptops, and while you might not need to be able to play on ultra graphics settings, there's a significant difference between high and low-medium settings. If you decide you would in fact stay closer to $500, you can still do significantly better.
Lenovo Ideapads range from "fine" to "very good," depending on the model and what it's supposed to do. In your situation, and Ideapad gaming laptop, one with a dedicated graphics card, would be in the "fine" range, not terrible but also not the quality of slightly more expensive options. (That's not to say it's a bad choice, only that it's not the best in terms of build quality.)
In the more portable category, some Ideapads are good, but the internal hardware will matter much more than the brand name. For example, you could find an Ideapad with the same processor as the Acer you've just linked, and my answer about it would be exactly the same. On the other hand, if you found an Ideapad you liked with the same processor as the first two I linked and it was a reasonable price, it would be a good choice.
