I am not really good at picking out a pc but my current laptop is not giving me the best Sims 4 experience. I am looking at this one
Would you say this would be a good laptop? Also do I need to move out of using a laptop and into a PC? Any recommendations would be awesome.
Not enough for me if I wanted to buy one for running the Sim's with all my mods and kits. I say this as I run a 1 Terabit and am using 260 GB. My mod folder alone is 23 GB. I would recommend this one. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-legion-pro-5-16-gaming-laptop-wqxga-adm-ryzen-9-8945hx-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-16gb-memory-1tb-ssd-eclipse-black/6619247.p?skuId=6619247 Its not cheap but you won't have to be buying a new laptop in a few years. I have used HP before and they break in less than a year. While my Lenovo Legion has lasted me being on it for over 4 years over 13 hours a day & its still its going strong. I'm bedridden and my laptop is so important to me. Just make sure to get a fan table to sit your laptop on for under the laptop to keep it cool.
MzVogue I would normally say that's a reasonable laptop for Sims 4, although it's nice to have 16 GB RAM rather than 8 if you can get it. However, there's a current issue with running Sims 4 on HP gaming laptops, where the game doesn't load at all. There are workarounds, so if this is your only or best option, it's not a deal-breaker. But I'd look for other models first.
As for other recommendations, what's your budget? Are there any other details that matter to you? I wouldn't say you need a desktop rather than a laptop, but it is the better choice if your first priority is performance or longevity. But if you'd prefer a laptop for other reasons, that's fine too.
LeighsGarden That laptop is massive overkill for Sims 4, and it's also more than twice as expensive as the one the OP linked. Maybe they're willing to spend that much more, I don't know, but that kind of budget is certainly not necessary for a laptop just for Sims 4.
Also, HP laptops do not typically break in less than a year. Maybe that's your experience, but it's not normal. Plus, the warranty is always going to be a year or more, at least if you're buying new, so selling laptops that break while still under warranty seems like it would be a bad business decision.
