Re: Can this laptop run The sims 4??

@PaulaBerti  Among these options, the Dell 🏀 has the fastest graphics chip, with the Lenovo (4) being a reasonably-close second.  The HP has a weaker processor with a weak graphics chip, and although the Acer's processor is the best of the group, AMD created lower-end graphics chips in these models for reasons I don't understand.  Since the graphics chip will be the limiting factor, that makes the choice easy.

Walmart is usually the best option when shopping for laptops in this price range.  It's not that all the prices are great, but there's almost always something decent on sale, and all you need is one good option.  Case in point:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/780325947

The first is marginally better than the second in that its graphics chip is a few percentage points faster in gaming.  But that's not enough to win out if you like the second one for other reasons.

Here's another option that has the same hardware as the first one above:

These two have the same graphics chips as the first and second one above, respectively, and slightly newer processors.  It won't matter for Sims 4, but in case you're looking for something newer for other reasons:

If you have more questions, please feel free to keep asking.
