What about this laptop?

Solution
I had one of those. Pretty good build quality, being ASUS. But the intake port on the bottom was designed terribly, it completely chokes the airflow, and it stays hot even at idle.

You could fix that if you're handy with a dremel tool, here's a video on how to do it:

If you're not willing to do that, I'd stay away from it.

Honestly, you'd be able to run Sims 2 fine on something like this:

They're not flashy, but they're damn near indestructible. Awesome laptops.
