Are you in the market for a new gaming laptop, one that can handle The Sims 3\u2122 well? A useful buyer\'s guide can be found over at the Tom\'s Guide website, and covers such things as mobile processors, video chipsets and other components. As for a gamer\'s recommendation, the article has this to say:\r\n
\r\n\"For gamers, we have a few recommendations. If you\u2019re into more casual game play, such as a few online MMOs or the occasional first-person shooter, we recommend a 2.2 GHz-2.6 GHz dual-core CPU or better, 4 GB of RAM, a 320 GB-500 GB 7,200 RPM HDD, and an Nvidia GT-250M or ATI Mobility HD 4670 or similar. These games are best played on a 15.4\u201D or 17\u201D WSXGA screen. This system also makes a very solid all-around laptop for pretty much any computing tasks.\" \r\n
\r\nThe rest of the article, written by Paul Escallier, can be found at the following link:\r\n
