I am thinking of buying a HP M6 15.6 Inch M6 1TB 8GB Laptop from argos for my daughter to play THE SIMS 3 game.The spec is as follows..AMD A Series A8-5550M processor.
2.1GHz processor speed.
8GB RAM.
1000GB hard drive.
Microsoft Windows 8..according to other info it has a Dedicated graphics card.
8550G graphics card..can anyone tell me if it will play this game. thanks

an A8 APU will be plenty for playing the Sims3. you won't be able to crank the graphics to maximum, but you'll get decent performance nontheless

Ok thanks .Was a bit weary of AMD as have always had intel and the fact of it being a laptop made me ask the question even though both the cpu and graphics card have a fair rating on the PassMark site. But a "little knowledge is a dangerous thing" so I thought I'd ask the professionals before I paid out for a pair of them. These cost about £500 each so if you know of something that would do the job better for around the same price please let me know. Thanks again
