Re: Would this laptop run the sims 4

Yes I am 100% sure you will be able to play maxed with them specs. 

Edit: Take a look "here" and you can see other users specs that are able to run the game max settings.

@Emmyxo785  The above information is technically correct but not entirely helpful.  An Nvidia 1050, without a ti boost, would probably run all current packs on the highest graphics settings, but just barely.  This will likely not be true as more expansion packs are released.  If you plan on buying most or all of them, you'd really want a stronger card.  Additionally, while HP makes some good products, its gaming laptops often don't perform up to expectations.  It seems to be hit or miss, but the reliability is not what you'd want to see.

If you list your budget, I can look for other options for you.  (It looks like you live in the U.K.)  For example, I found this computer for £600 for someone yesterday, with a better processor and graphics card, and a faster hard drive:

If you'd like something else, just tell me what you'd prefer to spend, and I'll take a look around.
