Laptop to play Sims 4 (PT)

Hello 🙂

Time to buy a new laptop, not a very expensive one, and I want to make sure I'm able to run Sims 4 properly (with expansion packs and build and buy cc).

I found this one for a good price (between 500€ and 600€). Could someone please help me confirming if this is a good option or not?

Many thanks!

Sara

    @SaraCaLopes  That's a perfectly reasonable option in the 500€ range.  The Xe Graphics chip should be able to run all current packs together on medium-high to high settings, although if your custom content is more demanding than typical base game items, you may need to lower the settings a bit.  It's fine to experiment with the graphics settings until you get something you like.

    If you're still looking around, a laptop with an i7 processor and Xe graphics would be a bit faster, as would the graphics chips in certain AMD Ryzen processors (e.g. 5800U, 7730U).  But the difference is relatively small, and the next major improvement is probably somewhat more expensive than what you're looking for.  So if you like this laptop, or another one with the same specs, go ahead and get it.
