1. What is your budget?
$600-800

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
I prefer a laptop that is 13-15 inches, no more than that because this is also my college laptop. And I don't want anything too bulky as I'm going to luggage it around all day.

3. What screen resolution do you want?
1920x1080

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Portable

5. How much battery life do you need?
It doesn't really matter, but the more the better.

6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
I want to play games such as League of Legends, and mainly The Sims series, specifically 3 & 4.

Also please keep in mind that The Sims series is notoriously famous for their expansion packs, meaning the game takes up much more space and performance over time.
I would like to run these games at medium-to-high+, high being prefered.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
This is also my work/college laptop.

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
In mind of The Sims expansions, 1 TB would be best I think.

9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
I'm very new to buying laptops/electronics, and I have heard a lot of rep from sites such as Newegg.

10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
As long as it will run on me, hopefully

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
I'm not sure what this means, but I won't be using the DVD disk at all really, and plus I think they add unnecessary if you're not using it anyways.

12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
N/A

13. What country do you live in?
US

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Also, I have been recommended this laptop specifically for running The Sims series,

Is this a good laptop for The Sims series, or is there any better laptops at a similar pricepoint?
