Hi! I'm really planning on to buy this but my main use would be playing the sims 3 with med-high settings and maybe a few expansion packs..

Hp Pavilion 15-p067no
- Windows 8.1 64bit
- 4GT RAM

processor:
AMD A8-6410 APU / 2GHz

Graphics card:
AMD Radeon R5

Help would be appreciated! :)

It will be able to play the game at med settings. I wouldn't push the laptop too hard as hp are not very good at gaming and the cpu is not very strong.

Acer Aspire E5-571

i've heard that intel isn't recommended for The Sims 3 / gaming though ...
