TQC, I need help buying a laptop that will fit what I want. I have general knowledge about computers, but can you guide me towards the most bang for my buck? what type of laptop do you have if you have one, and do you like it?

I am looking for a laptop that will:

- Smoothly run The Sims (3 & 4) without everything being on the lowest settings. I know that a desktop is best for gaming, but I work from home on my work's desktop and I don't have room for another one.

- not cost me more than $800ish

- be able to open programs such a Photoshop quickly without lag.

thanks for any help!
