I'm interested in getting a laptop that can play both the old Sims 3 games and Sims 4. I know desktops are better, but I want a laptop. Will this be able to play the Sims 4? Will I be able to play on High settings, medium, or low?

> According to the GraphicsCards.sgr in my demo files, you may be able to play on medium settings. But as soon as TS4 comes out, it may be lowered to low-medium settings. It is recommended you play with a cooling pad, since the HD 8650G is integrated but strong enough for some gaming. Your CPU is fine, as it goes up to 3.5 ghz. The requirements might be bumped up by the first expansion. I don't think TS3 will do well on this laptop, Sims 3 can play on medium settings, med-low if CC or store content is added.
So what integrated card would be a good enough card?
> An integrated card like the HD 8650G isn't good for extreme gaming. You need a dedicated video card in the laptop like AMD or Nvidia to play things well on high
Okay my budget is $600 max. Is there a good laptop on the market with a dedicated video card? Or just a good laptop overall?
