hi everyone
So I'm currently searching for a gaming laptop for The Sims 4. I have tons of mods and cc, and my current laptop, which is not a gaming laptop, can't handle it, and i dont want that. Is there anything I can get in the 600-900 range in Canada?
Thank you.
Thank you for the help! I’ll come back when I’m ready to buy on the spot and check what the best option is then.
mustbethesims4 Neither is a bad choice, exactly, but they're not as good as the one I linked or as others in your price range. The RTX 2050 in the MSI is significantly slower than an RTX 3050, to the point that you might not be able to play on ultra graphics settings (depending on your play style and how smooth you want the game to be). The 6550M in the Victus is slightly faster than a 3050, but this model only has 8 GB memory, which is less than ideal. Sure, you can upgrade it, but paying someone to do the upgrade would usually cost significantly more than finding a laptop with 16 GB already installed. So unless you're comfortable doing it yourself or have a friend who can help, I'd pass.
If you're going to buy next week, then it would be best to check prices next week. There's almost always something on sale, but that changes quickly, and some items get sold out. So while you can safely assume that 900 CAD is sufficient, I can't tell you what the best option will be even a week from now.
Thank you so much for your research. I was hoping to get it next week. I just wanted to know how much money I would need for that laptop, so I can lock it in and purchase it without a time limit. I also did some research myself and saw a few recommendations. I’m not sure if it would run smoothly with mods and CC, but I was looking at HP Victus.
if theres any other recommendation, without a time limit, let me know
mustbethesims4 Sure, I can find something for under 900 CAD. What do you think of this one?
Its graphics card is capable of running all current Sims 4 content on ultra graphics settings, and it has enough memory and storage for Sims 4 and regular use, including multitasking. It's only on sale for a few more hours though (maybe), so if it's what you want, don't wait.
I checked Best Buy Canada, Amazon Canada, and Memory Express as well, and I don't see anything else with equivalent hardware for under $850. But there are a handful of good options up to $900, so if you don't like the Acer, tell me why and I'll list some other laptops to consider. In that case, please also let me know whether you'd be willing to get an open-box unit and from which stores.
