Laptop to play Sims 4

Check for something with a dedicated Nvidia or AMD dedicated graphics card. Intel Chips are not really made for gaming

@31Unicorn While integrated graphics continue to get better and stronger they still can not play today's graphical games at resolutions for today's screens. Today your gaming computer should have graphics capabilities to run at 1080p at 60 Hertz. With 4k screens picking up steam and VR starting up that video chip isn't even close. At low resolutions that chip may (and that's a BIG may) be fine but eventually most people start wanting to see what the game looks like in a higher resolution. TS4 is a 3d graphical game. You need a computer with a graphics system that can process the video at an acceptable frame rate. I would only recommend that graphics chip if you only play older low res graphical games (which I know you don't want to play those games).

@31Unicorn you can always run http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri if you want to be 100% sure.

@31Unicorn What I'm saying you will have to lower the resolution very low and you will still probably have poor performance. Probably what you will do is raise the resolution and the performance will even be worse. You have to understand how your hardware works. The higher the resolution the harder the video chip has to work and your video chip is a very weak gaming chip. The game will probably lag if you have too much activity. I would recommend no it won't work.
