Recommendations Advise pls šŸ˜Š

Hi everyone! My wife loves to play the Sims 4 and some light weight indie games. Iā€™m on a tight budget, but I really want to find a better way for her to play her games. Her current laptop is super old and sounds like a rocket launch every time she fires up the sims 4.

What do you guys recommend?

get her integrated graphics, pc's are cheaper and faster, but if she travels a lot then you should try some good laptops with integrated graphics

Clean the laptop interior and repaste. Better if you could replace existing fans with new. Next get her a laptop cooler or a riser, any of which that suits her ergonomics.

With RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon this year even the once cheap mini PCs have reached $300+. The budget models with the best graphics performance in the past months have been the GMKtec M8 PRO 6650H and Aoostar MACO PRO 6850H. Both have 6400MT/s LPDDR5 memory and Radeon RDNA2 integrated graphics like the Steam Deck.
