Which laptop would be better?

★ Novice

I'm looking to buy a laptop for the sims 4 but unsure on which one to buy? My top two are the acer aspire 3 and the hp 15s-fq553sa (links both provided). If anyone could suggest which one is more appropriate or another one for around the same price that would be great Standard smile

 

many thanks!

@reggieblackcat12  The second laptop would be a lot better, I mean it wouldn't even be a competition, if it had 8 GB RAM.  But with only 4 GB, you'd likely see significant performance issues.  If you're willing to upgrade the memory yourself, it's still an excellent choice, or at least I think it is: I can't find any documentation on whether this laptop's RAM is actually upgradable.  A Currys store would know, so if you're interested, call and ask.

 

I wouldn't recommend the first laptop for someone shopping in your price range.  It's not that the laptop is bad overall, but its performance for Sims 4 would be significantly lower than a number of similarly-priced options.

 

If you don't want to need to upgrade the memory, then I'd go with a different option than either of these.  Of the Currys selections in your price range, these are better options:

If you're willing to shop elsewhere, Argos has a laptop that's almost the same as the second one you linked, except it has 8 GB RAM:

This is also a suitable option:

I can also look at other stores if you're interested; let me know.  And if you have other questions, please feel free to ask.
