Default Would this computer run The Sims 3 Well?
Today my trusty laptop that I've had for the past 6 years decided to die on me. Unfortunately I lost all of my custom content and families but oh well. I'm quickly trying to find another laptop as soon as possible. I think I've found one for a great price but I'm wondering if the specs are good for The Sims 3 since that's really the only game I play. The specs are listed below. Please let me know!

Yeah, very weak, especially the graphics card. We know Integrated Intel has issues with TS3. Is not a good choice.
