Hello everyone!
My sister was hoping to be able to play SIms 4 on a laptop and we've been having some difficulty finding one that would support it and run well enough to not have issues. We were looking at some Lenovo ThinkPads, Acer, and ASUS laptops that have Windows and an Intel Core, Ryzen, or AMD processor.
Are there any recommendations for laptops under $300 (I know this is the big ask)? We've looked online and on Amazon but we just can't find the best fit.
@gamerzz00 There aren't any great laptops around $300 U.S., at least not unless you're willing to shop on Ebay or Craigslist. But you can certainly find one that should run Sims 4, all packs included, on low or low-medium graphics settings without much trouble. If that's good enough for you, then have a look at these:

The first two are refurbished, but Best Buy stands behind its products, so the risk is relatively low. The others are new, with the last one being unavailable in my area but perhaps not in yours. All of these have the same internal hardware, so they should all perform roughly the same, perhaps with small differences depending on how the manufacturer tunes this particular model. The laptops that run Windows in S mode need to be "upgraded" to Home before you can install Sims 4 on them, but that's free and can be accomplished with a few clicks.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
