    I am in the process of purchasing a new laptop. Her is the one that I’m thinking about buying. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-yoga-720-2-in-1-15-6-4k-ultra-hd-touch-screen-laptop-intel-quad-core-i7-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-platinum-silver/5722755.p?skuId=5722755

    My question is will it run Sims 2-4 well? I want to assure that it will run Sims with it being a 2 in 1. Thank you!

      The specs meet requirements however the games will have issue running in 4k resolution and were not designed to run in 4k. Your better off with those specs and a 1080p resolution screen.

      Also 500 gb ssd would be small if your trying to run TS2, 3 and 4 (which is not complete) . Especially if you use allot of mods and CC. I would suggest at least a 1tb hard drive if your going to play several games and may put other things on your laptop

      Your specs SHOULD work. If you have any problems, you can always modify your in game settings and also try upgrading your computer graphics cards, hard drives, etc. as that could help fix any bugs. Along with that, contact EA Help if you have problems that might not be from your computer specs. Also, check Origin for the requirements if you have any doubts.

      4K does not work on PC with this game and like above post , you can't upgrade video card in a laptop
