I apologize for asking this so much, but I discovered the GPU of the last model I asked about was incompatible with several of the game's expansion packs, which is a huge issue for me considering I'm purcahsing it exclusively to Sims 3 (and web browsing). I just want a laptop that will run the game and it's expansions smoothly. As long as the game is playable, I don't care if the graphics aren't maxed out. I'm on a tight budget, $600 at the high end.
Anyway, his is the model I'm looking at:
Model: HP Pavilion 17-e049wm
-AMD Elite Quad-Core A10-5750M accelerated processor (2.5 ghz, up to 3.5GHz, 4MB L2 Cache)
-8GB DDR3 SDRAM
-750GB SATA hard drive
-AMD Radeon HD 8650G discrete graphics
It's priced at $598.
The main thing I'm concerned about is the graphics card since the processor and RAM are well above the minimum requirements, but I've been told it should play the game and it's expanisons on medium-high settings without too many issues. However, I've read the Pets and Seasons expanisons have some issues with integrated chips, so that also makes me a bit leary. What do you think?
