My girlfriend dropped her laptop now it's strawberry floated, it was strawberry floated before, been looking around can't really pinpoint anything, for her needs, all she really needs it for is Sims 4 (medium settings would be nice!) And browsing the internet, netflix, youtube and listening to music. She doesn't need a powerhouse.

Thanks for the advice.

Well the minimum specs for the Sims 4 are:

OS: Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP2), Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8, or Windows 8.1

PROCESSOR: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+ or equivalent (For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62 or equivalent) MEMORY: At least 2 GB RAM

HARD DRIVE: At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games

DVD-ROM: DVD ROM drive required for installation only

VIDEO CARD: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0. Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better, ATI Radeon X1300 or better, Intel GMA X4500 or better

That should give you a start, I have no idea about laptops other than that.

We were looking at a few customers builds but time is of the essence for her.

These any good?
