Re: Will this computer run sims 4?

Ok I’ve asked this question so many times before but I’m really hesitant on which laptop I should buy because my mom doesn’t want her money going to waste so I’ve been looking at recommendations from other people and here are my options.

ps. I wouldn’t mind recommendations from whoever answers this. My budget has raised since the last time I’ve asked so my new budget is 680-730.

im not too much worried about storage because I’m getting an external hard drive. I just want it to run smoothly on at least medium to high settings and I want it to handle a lot of cc/mods.

@unicornbunny12 I've merged your new post with your old thread to keep everything together.

Of the laptops you've linked, the MSI with the RTX 4050 is the best in terms of performance, followed by the Victus with the RTX 3050. (The MSI with the 3050 is out because the third-party seller has bad ratings.) The RTX 2050 is significantly slower, and the laptops without a dedicated graphics card are much slower than that. So I would go with the MSI with the 4050 if you don't mind a somewhat noisy laptop, and the Victus with the 3050 otherwise.

You can get a slightly-newer MSI with an RTX 4050 from Best Buy for a little cheaper than the Amazon option:

This laptop's graphics card is in the same performance category as the RTX 3050:
