I'm on the hunt for a dependable laptop for gaming, specifically something that can run The Sims smoothly. I'm looking for at least 20GB of RAM and an i5 processor. I'm not super tech-savvy, so if my questions aren't clear, feel free to ask for clarification! I've heard that more RAM is beneficial, but I'm not sure about the specifics.

20GB of RAM might seem like a lot for gaming, especially for The Sims. Most setups typically use 8GB or 16GB, and I've seen friends run the game perfectly well on 8GB even when using mods. If you want exceptional reliability, consider buying from brands that offer business service agreements, as it generally indicates they prioritize reliability in those models.
You should check out gaming laptops like the Lenovo Legion or Dell XPS. They usually come with 16 to 32GB of RAM, and some models let you upgrade. Sure, the i5 processor is a solid choice, just make sure you grab a newer generation, like the 12th or 13th. Plus, aim for an SSD rather than an HDD for faster load times!
Definitely agree on the SSD! It makes a huge difference in loading times, especially with games that have a lot of expansions.
