I want a laptop that i can play sims 3 on. I want to be able to use the internet, microsoft word and olay sims 3 with expansion packs and thats really all i will use it for. I would play sims often though. I cant afford to spend more than 350 but i can go up to 400 is i really must. I would prefer windows 8, and i have actually found a few laptops but i am not very techy and i dont know whether they are good or not. Sims is the main reason i want it so that is a must, and i dont really want a screen under 12 inches.
