Mini pc

Hi guys! 

i wanted to know if anyone is using Beelink mini pc? I was thinking of buying one apparently the load screen time is great and works well with sims 4! I have 50k worth of mods and cc around 400GB maybe and the loading time takes forever.. so I wanted to know if anyone recommends it or if there’s any better suggestions 🙂

    @nadineabdoun  The HP is definitely better for Sims 4.  Its graphics chip is significantly faster than the one in your Mac, and the graphics chip is the limiting factor.  You can of course keep playing on your Mac if you prefer; there's nothing wrong with lowering the settings as necessary.  But in terms of performance, the winner is clear.

    Please remove your Mac's serial number from your post.  This is somewhat private information.

    so do you think it’s worth the switch ? From my Mac to the HP or it won’t really make any difference loading time wise

    @nadineabdoun  Loading times should be better on the HP, but they'll still be long.  Performance in-game should be better too, meaning you could play on higher graphics settings and/or see higher framerates.

    I can't tell you whether this is worth the effort for you.  But I'd suggest installing the game itself on the HP, with no mods or custom content, and comparing its performance to your Mac with no mods or cc.  (You can rename the Mods folder so it's not read.)  If you notice enough of a difference that you feel like switching is worth it, then that's your answer.
