Re: HP Envy x360 good for the Sims 4?
@hotchkir That laptop would probably run Sims 4 fine on medium or medium-high settings, maybe high if you didn't have all the demanding expansion packs.
If you want alternatives, this one has a processor that's a little stronger and a graphics chip that's a little faster, and it's $550:
It doesn't have a touchscreen, if that matters to you, but Sims 4 itself doesn't handle touchscreens well anyway, according to people who have them. Still, you might want the feature for other reasons.
This is another alternative, also $550, with the same hardware as the HP you found, again other than the touchscreen:
This one has an entry-level dedicated graphics card, one that's significantly faster than the integrated chips in the HP or the two laptops above. It's also $600:
Oh, and if you don't mind a green backlit keyboard, this one is a true gaming laptop, capable of running all current Sims 4 packs together on ultra settings, and it's $600:
And yes, most of these are from Walmart, but that's because the site just discounted a number of laptops as of today, so the prices are temporarily better than on most other sites.
I didn't go into much detail on any of these, since I don't really know what you want (other than "not a gaming laptop"), but if you'd like more info on any of them, or have more questions in general, please feel free to ask.
