is this laptop good enough to run sims 3?

When you get the game, check the back of the box. It should tell you what OPS you need and what its specs should be to run the game.

Recommended system requirements

OS: Windows XP/Vista/7

CPU: Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.5 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+

RAM: 2 Gb

HDD: 8 Gb free

Video Card: nVidia GeForce GTX 260 / ATI Radeon HD 4850, 896 Mb

DirectX: 9.0c

No it will not be able to play that game well at all. The CPU isn't powerfull enough and the Intel Mobile NM70 Chipset doesn't support DirectX 9.0c .

The only specs I located for that CPU is a clcok velocity below 2ghz. For a computer w/integrated pics, you want at the least 2.6ghz, and also you do not need that. "im not very good with computery things! " you then is just not spending any amount of cash on one. You mustn't purchase a desktop you probably have a detailed interest in video games considering the fact that laptops fee greater than desktops of similar efficiency, are harder to fix/improve and easier to wreck or get stolen. Why are you only watching at laptops? With none compelling motive as to why, no laptop makes any sense.

sorry no, the processor slow @ 1.7ghz
