Question Laptop purchase advice ?

[Gill95]

Hey so I just need some advice on potential laptops to purchase for my girlfriend. Most of the CPUs etc I’m unaware of and all the different models but I need something that’ll run The Sims 4 (and the odd other game) very well at 1080p or higher. Budget is from £500-£1500. Can be used laptops, I don’t mind so long as they’re in good condition. Thank you for your help in advance.

What are the countries available to you to source the laptop?

Seems like a nice laptop if a bit expensive for a 4060.

You can get bulky gaming laptops for cheap like £900, but you cannot find OLED screen ultrabooks at the same price.

True, but bulk vs slim is a balancing act. More mass and volume = better cooling and more room for a bigger battery. That means higher efficiency of battery life, better performance, less hotspots, et cetera. Something like this would be cheaper and faster, but heavier and with a less pretty screen. It just comes down to priorities. In the same category of laptop wouldn't this be faster 3070 ti vs 4060, and have a better screen?
