Re: Laptop Spec for Sims 4

@SJW7674  This laptop's graphics chip could probably only handle medium settings if you install every pack.  And it has a TN panel, which is the lowest quality in terms of color and viewing angles.  You can also do significantly better for £550.

If you'd like to keep the price down, something like these would be a lot faster in gaming—it should be capable of medium-high to high graphics settings.  The screens aren't great but are better than the Lenovo.

This one is a little over your budget but is significantly faster, likely capable of high-ultra settings, possibly ultra depending on your play style.  It has a nice screen too, which isn't everything but does matter some considering how much time you'll spend staring at it.

This one is about as fast as the MSI, and it's a great alternative if you don't like the MSI, although the MSI's screen is a little brighter (same category in terms of quality though).

Among these, the first four are all in the same performance category, as are the last two, so it's totally reasonable to choose based on whatever other factors matter to you.  If you have more questions about the laptops or in general, please feel free to ask.
