laptop buying help please

[loubylou1983]

hi

My computer died and I've been saving for a laptop, i found this one and it seems to have good reviews and I've been told it will run the game by the sales person but wanted to check here.

I have most of the packs and like to use mods and a lot cc so need a laptop that can handle it.

This is at the top of my budget, any advice or feedback would be great. Thank you

@loubylou1983  The salesperson is correct, that's a very good laptop for Sims 4: it would handle all current packs together on ultra settings with room to spare.  It should also handle your custom content just fine.  Its hard drive is small, but it's still enough room for Sims 4, just maybe not another similarly large game.

If you'd like to see other options, this two have the same hardware and are each £20 cheaper:

This one's processor is equivalent, and it has otherwise the same hardware.  It's £600.

These are all similar, so you could pick the one you liked best and expect almost exactly the same performance.
