Re: Best laptop for Sims 4

Thank you I have been waiting for your reply😂 I’m looking at a budget of £300 to £400. I’m in the UK so looking at curry’s and Argos 

thank you and please find links below

@chloe7800  The first one is definitely better than the second, with a faster processor and graphics chip.  And it's about as good a price you can find for that hardware.  I did find two other options worth mentioning on Argos (and none on Currys) though.  This one has essentially the same hardware as the first one you've linked, so it should run Sims 4 the same.  But it has twice the storage, which is convenient if not strictly necessary:

This one has a faster processor, which won't mean much to Sims 4 (the graphics chip will be the limiting factor) but is nice to have, and twice the storage as well.  It's also slightly smaller, which may be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective.

All of these should run Sims 4 roughly the same, plus or minus a few percentage points due to how the manufacturers tune each model.  So it's totally reasonable to choose based on screen size, or weight, or anything else that matters to you.

So both the ones I chose should be ok?

Should be. But I would've go with one of the Puzzlezaddict options, because, honestly, Sims 4 is pretty storage hungry, especially if you want to add DLCs and CC. Currently, my Sims 4 installation with all EPs, GPs and SPs and about third of the kits has 58 GB. And the user folder in My Documents can take additional GBs. Not to mention that with 8 GB RAM, the more space you have for swap file, the better. So, I'd really recommend you to go with one of the 512 GB storage options, if you can afford that.

@chloe7800  No.  Like I said, the first is much better than the second, and given that you can afford the first or either of the ones I linked, it's easy to cross the second one you found off the list.  I would also suggest thinking about one of the options I linked with more storage, but it's not critical, just convenient.
