Which laptop would be best for Sims 4?

Hi, I'm a bit of a dud with computers and I don't have anyone to ask about these things irl but I've tried to do a lot of research about laptops and its parts and so on. 

I need a new computer for university as my old one just barely runs anymore. Recently I've been getting back into the groove of playing Sims 4. So I need a light laptop that could run Sims on it. I don't use mods, just expansion pack etc. I also don't want a gaming laptop because The Sims is the only game I play on a computer and it also comes and goes how much I play.

I live in Finland so I feel like my choice on computers is limited but I have narrowed it down to a few choices after a lot of research and I'd like to hear your opinions which would possibly be the best choice. These laptops are between 600-750€ as luckily they are on sale right now and that's my budget.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 16/512GB 14,5" - AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (CPU), AMD Radeon 780M (GPU), 2560x1600 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate & memory speed 6400 MT/s

Asus Vivobook 15 X1504 16/512GB 15,6" - Intel Core i7-1255U (CPU), Intel Iris Xe Graphics (GPU), 1920x1080 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate & memory speed 3200 MT/s

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5x 16/512GB 14" - Snapdragon X1P-42-100 (CPU), Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Adreno (GPU), 1920x1200 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate & memory speed 8533 MT/s

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 14IRH8 16/512GB 14" - Intel Core i7-13620H (CPU), Intel UHD Graphics (GPU), 1920x1080 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate & memory speed 4800 MHz

Those are the stats I got on the sale sites so I apologise if they are incomplete or if something is missing. Thanks in advance!

  • jubelus  The first one is the clear best option in terms of Sims 4 performance because it has the fastest graphics chip.  It's not close either.  The 90 Hz refresh rate will also make everything from playing to basic tasks feel smoother.  It's also a good laptop in general.

    The backup option would be the second, which has better graphics than the other two.  I wouldn't get the third under any circumstances.
