Can you provide the needs you have in a laptop? What are you using the laptop for?

That machine is great for general use, web browsing, office stuff. However, the integrated graphics will be limited if you decide to play games ro do anything graphic intensive.

It it would mostly be for going online such as facebook ect. What kind of games would run on this I know she is into the sims game but does have a pc so dont think she would play them on this.

This lapton is absolutely good for that kind of work. But dont think it will be good for gaming. INTEL HD 1st generation isnt good at all for gaming.

Is this laptop any better for the graphics.

AMD RadeonTM HD 6520G Graphics.

She said she wants to play sims 2 on it.

The 6520g is much better than intel's integrated and is more than capable of playing sims. What processor does the laptop have? I believe it is an A6 but im not sure.

I would reccomend this

This 2nd i3 is more than enough CPU and is much better than the chip in that lenovo.

the 6000 series GPU is plenty to play basic games such as sims.
