What I want to know specifically is can this laptop handle playing the sims on medium settings for long periods of time.
AMD Anthon Dual Core 2.2Ghz
ATI mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics
4Gb ram

This is a brand new laptop with windows 7. All Sims software is new and legit. I have a great internet connection and all the latest updates.
Does it get too hot?
Does it have enough ram?
Does it have the right video adapter?

I ask because some times the ground turns blue and the game goes a little slow and some times the game freezes and will not start again. My girlfriend says just get a desktop, but I really want to play this game on my laptop.
