Laptop Recommendations for Sims 3 and 4

@swebby21  This laptop is faster, sure, but not £100 faster.  Its GPU has eight cores instead of seven, of the same kind, but due to the typical inefficiencies, it's not quite the corresponding 14% faster most of the time.  So yes, it would be better, but I'd also say it's unnecessary.

I want to mention this laptop too, which has dropped in price since I searched.  It's about as fast as the faster MSI and a little cheaper.  I think the MSI has a better screen, but this one is certainly good enough, just not as bright as I'd like.

If you're looking at this category, I would cross off all the other non-gaming laptops I mentioned because they really are not in the same class in terms of performance.  They're still great options in the lower price tier, but if you've decided to pay more to get better performance, they're not what you want.
