I recommend returning the laptop and spending a little more for a laptop that is at least capable of playing the Sims 3 decently. The N2840's Intel HD (Bay Trail) graphics core also a lot less powerful than the Intel HD 3000. The Celeron N2840 is far less powerful than the i5-2410m (released in 2011) in terms of processing performance. I have seen someone play the Sims 3 (and some expansions) on a laptop with an Intel Core i5-2410m CPU with the integrated Intel HD 3000 and he said while the game was "playable", it was sluggish as well. The Celeron N2840 is a low power and low performance Atom CPU (not a Core i3/i5/i7 CPU) that is really meant only for basic everyday usage, not games. If it can play the Sims 3 and the expansion packs (which increase the system requirements), then it would be very sluggish at 1024x720 resolution. Thank you all in advance for your feedback. I plan to order games via Origin as soon as I feel confident in making the purchase. I'd like to know if this device can handle The Sims 3. I haven't purchased any of the games yet nor have I opened the HP. Microprocessor: 2.16GHz Intel Celeron N2840 Processor with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.58GHz Dual Coreĭisplay: 15.6-inch diagonal HD WLED-backlit touchscreen display (1366x768) ![]() The majority (ALL) of my game play would be offline and I am content with playing on the lower settings. I will only be using this laptop for the Sims 3 and occasionally Netflix. I have no intentions to download any customized items or adding any additional expansion packs or stuff packs. I'd like to know the probability of playing The Sims 3 Starter Pack (base game, Late Nights, High End Stuff) with the University Life, Seasons, Generations, and Ambitions expansion packs and the Town Life Stuff pack.
