Recommendations for a Gaming Laptop to Run Sims and Minecraft

-

Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for a gaming laptop that can smoothly run every Sims game, not just Sims 4, and also handle Minecraft well. I found a model called “ASUS TUF F15 i5 16GB 1TB RTX3050” and I’m curious if that’s a good choice. Do you have any advice or alternative suggestions?

I don’t have the F15 model, but I do own the ASUS TUF F17 with an i5-12500H and RTX 3050. I wouldn’t recommend it because it tends to run hot even in balanced mode. The Sims 4 does perform well on medium settings, hitting over 144 FPS, but it might not be ideal for your needs.

Thanks for the info! Do you have any other laptop recommendations that could run the Sims series smoothly?
