LENOVO LEGION Y7000 i7 8th Gen for TS4?

I found someone selling this laptop on Facebook Marketplace. I really want a new laptop that can run the Sims 4 (including most if not all the packs, as well as mods and CC) well, because my current ...

    @NumberedBeats  This one is significantly better in all (listed) ways, so if it's within your budget, AND it passes the Time Spy test, I'd say go ahead and get it.  The hardware is overkill for Sims 4, but that's not a bad thing, and you should be able to get full use out of the 144 Hz screen.  Dreamlight Valley will benefit too.

Thank you for your reply! I’ll take what you said in consideration. I actually haven’t stopped looking at laptops for days now and I found that listing to be the best one for my budget.

Another one I saw is this one. It’s a bit pricier, but it’s still within my budget. It also looks barely used. Is this laptop better for the games I want to play?

Lenovo Legion Y7000P

- Windows 11 Pro

- Intel i7 10th Gen

- RTX 2060

- 16GB RAM

- 1TB SSD

- 144hz Display

Thank you!

    Hello! The seller got back to me about the laptop. He tested it using Time Spy.




    Will this laptop run the games I want to play? Thank you!

      @NumberedBeats  That looks exactly right as far as I can tell.  And if the test had crashed, you wouldn't see a score at all.  So while buying a used laptop is always a risk, I think you've done your due diligence and should be fine.
