Dear sifus,

Currently looking for a laptop for wife.

1. Budget : Estimated 3k or max 4k
2. Usage : Normal Ms Office usage, checking emails thru browser, multiple tabs in Chrome, occasionally YouTube/Spotify, planning to play The Sims 4
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :
- between 13 to 14"
- acceptable battery life (hopefully min 5 hours without power adapter)
- lightweight if possible (below 1.4kg)
- need min at least 8GB RAM and min storage 256GB SSD
- if there good laptop withing few months can still wait (aware the AMD 4xxx series is out)

Remarks: Will need to understand your professional opinion whether the default integrated gpu of Intel/AMD able to support playing The Sims 4 properly (decent frame rate/no thermal issue)? If not, is it advisable to switch to gaming laptop series to be able play The Sims 4 properly? If to switch gaming laptop, any chance my budget and weight still withing the range?

Thank you.!

Hi, not too sure as it will be my wife playing the game. Perhaps any chance for middle setting? or what option do I have for:
1. High setting
2. Low setting

Thanks a lot.

Dear Sifu,

Thanks for the suggested models.
If I to wait for upcoming AMD series laptops (max 2-3 months), any chance the performance to price ratio comparable to above models?

Thanks again.
