Will this laptop run the sims 4?

@35535rr   There's two things I notice about that HP. First it only has 256Gb of storage. IMO you will run out of space. I'm using a 512Gb ssd for boot drive with a 1Tb data drive. Second - for a gaming computer it is best to get a dedicated graphics processor. The HP has a gpu (graphics processor unit integrated into the cpu chip. While this computer would make an excellent student computer, I would not recommend it for gaming. It will probably play the game but how well IDK.

Would you have any laptop recommendations for around this price range?

@35535rr   I have laptops but I use them for work so I don't game on them. Look at this one - it is very close to the HP - Acer basic  only a little better or Acer gaming  Something like the Acer gaming would be good.

Would the Acer basic definitely run Sims 4. That is the only thing I really want it for and I dont use too much cc or mods. 

@35535rr  The "Acer basic" is only marginally better than the one you were originally considering, and I don't know what it costs in Ireland or even whether it's available.  But you can do better than the laptop you linked either in price or hardware.

As a side note, you might not run out of storage with a 256 GB drive, but it's nice to have a larger drive so you don't have to worry about it.

This is newer (by one year) and slightly better version of the one you found, and it's €480:

This one has the same graphics chip as the one above but has a more powerful processor, not that it will matter much to Sims 4, and 500 GB storage.  It's €600.

These two have Intel processors and graphics chips, with the first being equivalent to the hardware in the ones above and the second being a little faster.  They're €600 and €650, respectively.

All of these would run Sims 4, all current packs include, on medium-high to high graphics settings, with the last one performing a little better than the others.  To get ultra graphics, you'd need to step up to a gaming laptop, which are more expensive.  But if you'd like to see some options in that category, let me know.  And if you want other options in general, please list any websites where you'd be comfortable buying.  I only know of a few others that serve Ireland and have heard mixed reviews on those from other shoppers.

Thank you so much for this reply! It has been so helpful for me. Out of the laptops you listed which one do you think would run the Sims 4 the best overall and the smoothest gameplay. Also, another website that I could buy from in Ireland is Harvey Norman but I do prefer Currys.
