options are any good for playing Sims 3?

Any of these Next Class laptops from Best Buy? There is an HP, Toshiba, Dell and a Sony. They all have different specs.

Or could you at least tell me which would be my best option and what I would need to upgrade on it?  Since I also plan on adding a blu-ray played to which ever one I get, if possible.

Thank you!

Hello,

I checked out the specs of all 4 laptops in the Next Class group. The best Sims 3 performer out of the bunch is the Dell. It is the only one with a decent graphics card. You must note that this laptop does not come with any CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. This price of this Dell is $699. For an extra price it can be upgraded to a DVD drive. I don’t know if there is a Blu-ray option.
The Dell’s specs are..
CPU: 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo
RAM: 3 GB
GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M (integrated)
SCREEN: 14” LCD
No CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive

I checked out the Dell, HP and Toshiba websites to find other 14” laptops around $700. The best one I found is an HP dv4t. It has a better, more powerful graphics card. It also comes with a CD/DVD reader and burner with the option for a Blu-ray drive (at an additional cost of course). The price of the HP is $779 with the specs below. Note, it is fully customizable.
CPU: 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo
RAM: 3 GB
GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce G 105M 512 MB RAM
SCREEN: 14” LCD
CD/DVD reader and writer
Here is the link to the HP laptop: http://bit.ly/HP-dv4t-081909

Thanks so much! I will definitely be buying one of these this week, as soon as I sell my Macbook! Smiley
