Hi i have a friend that has been looking around for a laptop that can easily play the sims 2 for around £400. this is because he travels around alot and wants to be able to play the sims 2 away from home. the laptop needs to be able to: play the sims2 with all of its expansion packs at highest settings at the full resolution of the laptop monitor. i would have helped him myself but i dont know alot about the intel graphics cards that are used in most laptops, so i cant say for certain what will play the sims 2. if you can get a sutable laptop for less than £400 my friend will be very greatful.
