What is the best value, light gaming laptop I could get for around $800? Needs to be able to play The Sims 4 and any other graphically similar games.
I'm not after a high end machine, just one that will play a basic game like The Sims 4.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Your choices are limited cause there is no "gaming laptop" for $800 at least not new. Also, what is your standard of running the Sims 4? Min, mid or max? Being a somewhat of an old game, most integrated graphics card can run Sims 4 at low with no problem. You might hit a snag or two (especially loading) but it is doable. These are just some random ones I found, others may have better suggestions
