Thanks, would there be any laptops under £700 that would run sims 4 smoothly. I wouldn't really play any other games.
Does it need to be a gaming laptop?
Sorry for another message
@loneill293 You certainly don't need a gaming laptop. Sims 4 will run on most systems that meet the minimum requirements, but running well is a different question. The most important component in determining how the a computer can handle Sims 4 (and most other games) is the graphics card, and the graphics card in a gaming laptop is going to be faster than anything you'd find in a more mobile laptop, at least in this price range. But like I said, the £700 Acer should still run Sims 4 on high settings, even with all packs installed.
For £700 or less, these two gaming laptops would also be fine:

The Nvidia 1050 is slower than the 1650, but it would still run all current Sims 4 packs together on ultra settings, albeit only barely.
In the non-gaming laptop category, the Acer is still the best one I've seen for £700 or less. These two are also good options, but their MX250 is significantly slower than the MX350, so you might only be able to play on medium-high settings if you have all or most packs. (As always, the fewer expansions you have installed, the higher your settings can be.) The Lenovo is a bit cheaper; the Dell has a newer processor and more storage.

More questions are always fine.
