@loneill293 Yes, when I said all Sims 4 content, I meant all current expansion, game, and stuff packs. An Nvidia 1650 will run all... 32?... released packs together on ultra settings, and an MX350 should handle all current packs on high.
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?

@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.
