New Laptop

Hey @MariaSor the best thing to do is to take a look at the specs for The Sims 4 and any other games you play and then compare that to the laptops in your budget: https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/the-sims/the-sims-4

@MariaSor  In your price range, a laptop with an Nvidia 1650 would be the best option in terms of performance, that is if you can find one.  The 1650 can run all current Sims 4 packs on ultra graphics settings with some room to spare.  In Western Europe at least, the cheapest laptops with this card start around 650€ plus or minus some inventory fluctuation and the occasional sale, and now that the newer Nvidia 3050 is becoming available, models with a 1650 should be a bit cheaper where they're still in stock.  An AMD 5500M would also be a good choice, but laptops with that card are hard to find.

If you can't find a laptop with a 1650 in your price range, look for an MX450 or possibly an MX350.  They're not as fast as the 1650 but still perform better than integrated graphics chips.

The other specs of the laptop matter too, but any processor paired with one of the above cards would be more than fine, and these laptops should all come with at leats 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.  It would be nice to have a 512 GB drive instead, but that's not strictly necessary.

I'm not at all familiar with the market in Cyprus or Greece, but if you link me a few stores where you'd be willing to buy, I can check them out.  Or if you'd prefer, link me the models you're considering, and I'll check them out.

Hello guys!

Thank you very much for your quick response!

I took a look at my choices and I will probably raise my price range to 900 euros, but I prefer to stay as low as possible 🙂

Some of my choices are the below: 

Im sorry for the Greek language but I cannot change it :D

@MariaSor  Of the ones you listed, I think this is the best option:

It's better than all the other options except the sixth, and the small improvement isn't really worth the much higher price.  If you do want to upgrade the RAM at some point, that should only cost you €40 or so.

This laptop is sold out, but I wanted to mention it as another configuration that would work well if it was available:

https://www.kotsovolos.cy/ProductDisplay?top_category5=&top_category4=&top_category3=&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=35747&catalogId=11551&top_category2=&productId=8068002&errorViewName=ProductDisplayErrorView&urlLangId=-24&langId=-24&top_category=35011&parent_category_rn=35050&storeId=10161

Performance would be very similar, perhaps a little better on this one than the one you found, but it's not worth going out of your way to find it.

And the Greek certainly isn't a problem for me, especially since the "Laptop/MacBook" category was so easy to find.

Thank you for your info!

I will go Maybe today to buy it! I saw also this choise. Do you think that its better?

@MariaSor  That link looks broken: it leads to a page with a photo of a laptop but no other information, not even a model number.  If the link is working for you but not me, you can just list the specs you see: processor, graphics card if it has a standalone one, RAM, storage.
