I'm getting a new laptop and I plan on playing only sims 4 and I just wondered if these specs will be ok?

It should do low medium.. but if you find it's getting hot consider a cooling pad.

I know that I can get a more affordable desktop than a Laptop but I don't have the space. I honestly don't want to spend too much and this laptop is in my budget. The only game I play is the Sims 4 and I do not use custom content or mods.
Nope. The CPU is weak for the game and the graphics card is not that great too. What is your exact budget and where are you from? @phoebebebe13 can help you find a laptop.
I am in the USA. I would be getting this laptop on sale for $600 USD. I really would want to be under $800 USD and would max spend $1000 USD. So my budget is very small.
That HP laptop you posted will have problems with this game. $600 is too low a budget.
Newegg charges no tax outside CA, TN and NJ . The MSI laptop is better than the dell I posted below . The MSI is designed for gaming and will have better cooling

The dell has the same specs as the MSI but the MSI has better cooling
Oh yeah my bad xD
It's always better to get a laptop that is designed for gaming. It will have better cooling. The dell meets requirements but you would need a laptop cooler with that laptop
Thanks for the help. I've decided to wait until next month to get my laptop. If it's not to much trouble my I ask you for help then, as I know new products come out and prices change.
Your welcome. You may get lucky and that Asus will be available in a month. It has all new hardware. The newest skylake and the new 1000 series Nvidia card. The other laptops I posted have the first skylake processor and the 900 series Nvidia. I see those going before the newer hardware laptops. We are always here. Feel free to ask when your ready to buy
Would like to know if this specs will be able to run ultra setting on the sims 4 (all expansion and stuff).
Processor: i7-7700HQ
Graphic: GTX1060 6gb
Ram: 8gb
Hdd: 1tb
Ssd: 128gb
Os: win 10 pro
I'm on a tight budget to get gtx1070 gpu. If yes, could gtx1060 able to run the sims for few years?
Thanks!
It will work great! Have fun with the computer!
1060 would be fine.
128 gb ssd is small. You will need to redirect and install your games on the second 1tb hard drive . I would also suggest redirecting your documents folder to the second hard drive.
Edit
If This is a laptop you do need an i7 . At first I thought you were asking about desktop. It's early and need more coffee
