The Sims on a laptop

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

Does anyone play The Sims on a laptop? I spend hours playing, and my other
half complains that he can't get on the desktop PC.

I have always wanted a laptop, and it would also be handy for work etc, so I
am considering getting one. Does anyone play Sims on a laptop, and if so,
how does it cope? And what specification is it?

Thanks!

Jo

Hi Jo.

First off... are we talking Sims 1 or Sims 2? If Sims 2, you would
need a laptop with a hefty videocard.

Any new laptop would probably run it, but run it well? That would
require a decent videocard and 512MB of memory.

How much do you have to spend?

Would be great if you could check for me, thanks!

I don't have a lot to spend, that's the problem. I get married next year,
and unfortunately the Sims has to come second to that!
