Which gaming laptop?

[speedy_thrills]

Present for my niece. Needs to be able to run Sims 3 (her favourite) smoothly and be deliverable within the UK. What would you recommend? O yeah, budget, £1k or there about if that's reasonable.

Dont think a gaming laptop is required to run Sims 3, its ten years or more old, so pretty much anything you can buy nowadays will run it.

£1000 will get you somethign decent, make sure its got s Solid State Disk, 8 GB of ram should be enough but I find the main thing is screen size and whether it looks nice and is well made, Dell are usually pretty decent.

Can recommend Dell Outlet - have ordered multiple times and no issues, certified refurbished come like brand new, sealed etc.

This model seems to hit the sweet spot at just over 1k:

This one would also be OK and save you a bit:

Would something with a 13" screen not be more suitable for a 13 year old? More portable and easier to move around?

Most laptops should be able to run Sims 3 from looking at the specs.

At that price range could get a very nice rose gold metallic coloured laptop rather than a plastic fantastic one with better specs.
