new laptop

I'm looking for new laptop to play sims 4 with all the DLC with mods/cc. I play on a MacBook air (mid 2013) on low settings but its still laggy. I'm looking for a laptop i can play on the highest set...

    @jrrdw  I'm sure you're trying to help, but a MacBook Air is absolutely not what the original poster is looking for.  It will barely run TS4 on medium settings now, and maybe not even that if all packs are installed.  Its integrated graphics card is too weak for any more than that and will continue to fall behind as more demanding expansions are released.  Its processor isn't very good for gaming either, although that wouldn't be the limiting factor here.  Plus, MacBook Airs don't have sufficiant cooling to handle even a moderately demanding game like TS4.

        @jrrdw  Alienware is probably not the best choice either.  The line is a better option for gaming than a MacBook Air, for sure, but these are quite overpriced for the hardware they contain, plus the quality has noticeably dropped off since the company was bought by Dell.

        Again, I know you're trying to help, but this isn't a useful approach.  The original poster has asked for recommendations for a laptop for a specific purpose.  If and when they post back with a bit more information, I will try to find a couple of models that meet those needs, are reliable gaming computers, and are reasonably priced.
