  • QuestionWould this laptop be able to run the sims 4 and its expansions?

    Asked by Lkp513.

    • Answer Hi Lkp513, Based on the system requirements for Sims 4 (link to a webpage with the system requirements in question embedded: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/faqs), this IdeaPad Slim 3i may not be able to run the game well, especially if expansions and modification come into effect, as the graphics performance necessary then increases. For a smoother gaming experience and to increase your chances of being able to play future expansions just as smooth as well, please consider this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 that is currently offered on Best Buy's site: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideapad-1i-15-6-full-hd-touchscreen-laptop-intel-core-i5-1334u-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-abyss-blue/6610890.p?skuId=6610890 This option offers quicker processing, better (integrated) graphics performance, and more memory to help you run more at one time. We hope that this information helps, and please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

  • QuestionCan I download Microsoft edge and Google Chrome on this laptop?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hey, Yes, you Microsoft Edge is preinstalled, and you can download Chrome web browser, but it takes a couple steps. This is because this model IdeaPad Slim 3i ships with Windows 11 Home in S mode preinstalled. For context, S mode is a more secure, lighter version of the Windows 11 Operating System that only allows the downloading of applications from the Microsoft Store. If you try to launch or install an executable or .exe file, the system prevents it. Should you desire to switch to Windows 11 Home to be able to download Chrome and other applications of your choosing outside of the Microsoft Store, here is a link to a Microsoft Support webpage that shares how to do so: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85 | Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
