Lenovo Ideapad 3
I’m looking for a reasonably priced laptop for my 10 year old to play Sims 4 on. This is what I’m leaning towards, but I want to make sure it will meet her needs. Other than Sims she mostly watches YouTube and talks to friends on Skype. It won’t likely see much other use. Thoughts?
@I1Love2Cookie This would be a perfectly reasonable option in theory, especially for a child. While it would probably only handle low-medium settings, it's about as good a system as you'll see in this price range. But I wouldn't buy this specific laptop because of the seller, which has only a 75% positive feedback rate. Further, the specs in the name and description don't match, which doesn't inspire confidence.
You could get the same model, except with a brighter, prettier screen (if you believe the Amazon page), for almost the same price from Best Buy:
This is a viable alternative too, cheaper even when new and with equivalent hardware as the Ideapad I've linked, other than a dimmer screen:
I'd go with either of these over the Amazon option if only because you'll know what you're going to get. If you'd prefer to buy from Amazon, I can look there too, but the plethora of unreliable third-party sellers makes it difficult to find good options.
