Default What kind of computer?
Hi all. I am looking into getting a new laptop here within the next couple weeks or so. I am uncertain of what kind to get - my only requirement is that it needs to be a laptop and not cost an entire fortune (laptop only because I travel a lot). I prefer HP and looked into the HP spectre with Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050, would this one work? I have all the Sims 2 & 3 games and would like to have my settings on high.

I hope I put this in the right forum section. Sorry if I didn't. I tried my best

yes ofc "it will work" (besides any hardware/Windows potential expected quirkiness); even without spinning up this NVidia.

I'd advise to steer clear from i7 line, i5 will be enough (and it's also cheaper) and in the real life - outside the raw tests - the added i7 value for common user is none or diminish quickly , these machines (it's unfortunate price for mindlessly copying an Apple's design) has problematic cooling solution. And any (even the best) will degrade with time and stress, it's normal process.
