Hi guys.
I'm a Simmer through & through. The only Sims game I have not played is the original, The Sims. So I need to get a new computer in order to run The Sims 4, and I was wondering if this computer meets all of the minimum requirements?

NewEgg is currently having a sale on CyberPowerPC's Fangbook for $850.

No tax outside of California, Tennessee, and New Jersey.
You need a proper gaming laptop to be able to run the Sims games; people have said that the Sims doesn't take much to run, but that is entirely false, you need a proper gaming laptop to run the Sims.
When you are shopping for a computer for this game, that 128 MB dedicated video memory is key. Many websites don't post enough detail about their laptops to even know what dedicated video memory a laptop comes with. Assume it's not enough unless it says it is. I highly recommend at least 1 GB dedicated video memory for this game, and a laptop cooler.
You could make do with 4gb of ram in reality, altho it's not exactly ideal.
Maybe try to look at 6gb ram.
Look on this page for some: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100025325 600562217 600562218&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=30
But in reality this one would be just fine and very good for your purpose: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232574&ignorebbr=1

Don't forget the forum rules are on the forum- go find 'em!
actually that asus has an older cpu
what colton posted the fangbook would be a good choice. This laptop has great specs for the price.

But the one I pointed out is i7. I7 is the latest processor, isn't it? I7 is better thn celeron and pentium.

laptop processor i7 should be HQ or MQ not U The fangbook is better than the asus
The fang book has only one review and it's bad...not sure if it is relevant or not
The fangbook has several reviews directly on cyberpwer accept that cyberpwer is charging more for the same laptop than newegg. Cyberpwer use to have it for same price. Once in a while someone will get a computer thats a dud. Des nt mean that in general all of them are duds.
Gotcha! Just making sure:)
If I knew the laptop had seriously bad reviews I would not post it or recommended it
