Hi all!

I'm planning on asking for a new laptop for my birthday this year, but I realized when researching that I...have absolutely no freaking idea what I'm doing. I play The Sims 4 primarily now, and have all the EPs except Get Famous. I also have the Parenthood game pack. This is the laptop I have now and it's about 6-7 years old. TS4 runs remarkably well considering, but I'd love a generally faster PC that can also play Sims well.

I really want to stick with PCs and keep under $800 if possible. I also really need to stick with laptops, as I'm disabled and tend to play a lot when laying in bed, etc.

I looked a bit at an Acer laptop but I've heard some really negative things about them.

Any help or advice on what to look for is seriously appreciated!
