Laptop or Desktop for the sims 3?

Brandoosh · Jun 21, 2014

Hi, I wanted to find out the pros and cons of the 2 if I had a desktop it would be upstairs and I don't want to go upstairs every time if wanted to play the sims, whereas if I had a laptop I could play it in bed downstairs while watching tv.
I know it may seem like I've answered my own question but I hear laptops and the sims don't go well together in terms of overheating.
So what do you guys think?

I'll also ask what laptop or desktop I should get too.

I'll tell you it's worth to go upstairs for a desktop, unless you can just spend around 1200 USD on a laptop for a 600 USD desktop equivalent, a desktop is cheaper for the same performance, gets less heat, it is upgradeable but of course it's not portable, yo uhave to decide if double price is worth the portable option, if you ask me it's not, but it is up to you

cheers

I've been looking at this gaming laptop, which is reasonably priced, would it play it on medium/high settings

Yes that laptop should handle that game---but...
considering that costs 634 pounds that is aroun 1 thousand dollars

for the same price you can get a desktop as powerful as this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fhHDkL
you can run anything into this beast at high/max, and you could also spend around 700 dollars and get a very good desktop pc too

Should handle doesn't sound that confident, will it run smoothly and I would not know the first thing about building a PC.

It's DDR3 with a bandwidth of 16 Gb per sec, a very fast clock of 1029 MHz but the other specs i mentioned are really poor (i thought DDR3 was left behind already) my card, an HD 7750, it is 20% faster than that, and it costed me 100 dollars when it was a practically new release, so yeah as i said laptops are expensive, SIMS3 is an old game that laptop will run it, but newer games will struggle on it, DDR3 is obsolete on my eyes, and for the price you're paying, it's not worth it...and i would reocmmend you a laptop but my knoledge is very limited in that area, sorry
