Should I buy this laptop for the sims 4?
Hi!! So I've been playing the Sims 4 on my 2020 MacBook Air for almost 4 years and it's been working pretty well, but I've been looking for a new laptop for gameplay. If I buy it, it would be used so...

@anyasheep13 This is not a great laptop for Sims 4. While it has a newer and more powerful processor than previous models in its class (and price range), the integrated graphics chip that comes with the processor is significantly slower than what you'd get with a last-gen processor. So I'd go with something else if possible.
How tight is your budget? I'm not sure I could find anything better for $300, but this one is $330 and has one of the faster graphics chips I referenced:
If you don't like this one, let me know why, and also list your budget; I'll look for something more suitable.
Hey thank you so much for your help!! I’m saving up money so I’d hope to find a good option under $500. That laptop looks great for me I’ll look into it more! Thanks again !!
@anyasheep13 Are you looking to buy now, or are you going to wait? I ask because prices and inventory change quickly, for example a number of ~$600 laptops are on sale at Best Buy right now, but at those prices, they'll be cleared out in a couple weeks if not sooner. If you're buying now, I can look around more and find other options; if you're going to wait, it would be best to come back when you're ready to make the purchase.
Or, if you have the money for the $330 laptop now but would need to save up for a more expensive model, go ahead and get the cheap one. With currently-available laptops at least, you're not going to see a faster graphics chip in your price range. It would be nice to have 16 GB RAM instead of 8, but this laptop is upgradable, so you could do that later if and when you decide it's necessary. Memory is cheap, with a single 8 GB module costing around $20 and a 2x8 GB kit around $40.
