One word: wow. That is one heck of a laptop, and not only for Sims purposes. If you can afford it, go right ahead.

Yaaay! Thanks! lol. Only problem is it's refurbished so I cannot reserve it in store and can't order online with my gift card. :S

Found an ATI one..

Would you say this one is equal, better or worse? http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspire-5552-15-6-laptop-black-10945106-pdt.html

Oh dear and this one.. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspire-7551-refurbished-laptop-07604445-pdt.html

rights thats my final 3 I wont bother you with anymore! Haha

[TheChronicR]

No need to say sorry, at all! We are here to help.

I think the second is the best of all three. But since it's a quad core, I'm still hesitating, so that's not for sure. I'll see if I can do some research and see if quad cores run TS3 well.

[WOTRUSTUPID]

Thanks!

Hmm my problem now is I've looked on notebookcheck.net and when you go down to sims 3 it says the second is the worst and will play on low. The other two on high.

[TheChronicR]

Huh. I guess it's you who decides now. :L

[WOTRUSTUPID]

Lol! Well... I'm gunna have to go in store to buy it with my gift card. So tomorrow I will go in and ask.. but I think it may be the one with the Nvidia graphics
Thanks for the help. I'll let you know if I buy one tomorrow!

I have an HP Pavilion g series - it's the best, in my opinion. The graphics are astonishing, and it loads within seconds - the video card isn't recognised and the graphics settings were pretuned to the highest possible. After playing for a few hours, I checked the heat. In the time that my old laptop would burn, I have barely any heat output. I'm happy now.
