Looking for a laptop (budget 300 euro) to play Sims 4 on?

My sis needs a laptop for homeschooling, but she also likes to play Sims 4 in her spare time. Windows 10 should already be on it. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it, so it would be cool if you could recommend something to me.

Honestly? I find cloud gaming more relaxed. You can use a poorly performing laptop and only need reasonably good internet. I can recommend NVIDIA GeForce NOW.

However, it requires a stable, good Internet which completely destroys the meaning of a notebook

Sc

Oki thank you. I've never heard of it, I'll find out more about it.

Does it have to be new or can it also be a used one. With new cars, I have to tell you honestly at 300 euro you actually only get scrap

ke

How so? Internet is mostly available, and so is a simple laptop. For example, I can play at 10mbit / s without any problems.

Sc

Yes, it should be new, unfortunately it doesn't want a used one. It doesn't have to be a really good one. The main thing is that you can play on the Internet and Sims. Without any other frills.

With 10 mbits you don't play with good quality the point of a laptop is that you can play / work anytime and anywhere, not only at home then you can buy a stand-alone PC that costs a little more at the beginning, but then no longer there it lasts longer and parts can be exchanged

Sc

Wait what New car?

For that you would have to spend twice as much. 300 euro laptops are really only suitable for surfing the Internet and office. Even if Sims 4 is a relatively undemanding game, a 300 euro laptop is too weak. You would have to add at least 200 euro…

With 10 mbits you don't play that with good quality

I've had different experiences there.

The point of a laptop is that you can play / work anywhere and anytime, not just at home

You can, stop with halfway sensible internet.

go

Honestly, with new goods you get 300 euro only rubbish these are mostly poorly processed devices with hardware like most of them thrown away years ago we often talk about dual core I say new a decent notebook starts at 500 euro if you are not on Offer finds

go

Yes, you can't get a new car for 300 euro 😂 sorry I used voice input because I'm just out there

go

You have no internet on the go unless you use mobile data, but that is actually expensive. Game streaming usually uses between two and five gigabytes of data per hour

Sc

Then what if the hardware is bad? Does the internet go slowly then or does Sims 4 not run at all or does it break quickly?

go

Even office notebooks for 300 euro are usually, how can you politely express that, not exactly the yellow of the egg

Sc

Not a thing, thought that was intended and meant as a joke 😂

go

If the hardware is quite slow, Sims 4 will run rather poorly or not at all, and such notebooks break very quickly because the processing is not particularly good, the cooling is usually not exactly the yellow of the egg I personally would recommend you to look for a good used one

Sc

Oki thank you. She doesn't really like a used one, but let's see.

go

Alternatively, you could still save a little. From 500 euro you can definitely find something good

Sc

Yes, but she is only 10. You don't want to spend so much of your pocket money on a laptop.

Sc

What a pity. Well, nothing helps.

go

Oh God is cute reminds me of me where I started with Sims at that age because I would look all the more at a used one that is not that expensive and still can withstand a bit
