Timing and Tactics to buy a laptop by December
Partner's birthday is December 1st and I want to get them a laptop.
I can spend ~£300 maybe more depending on how much I save. It doesn't need to be heavy duty but 16gb ram (Ideally upgradable), and NEEDS to be able to run Sims 4.
What would you guys recommend for a budget and when to buy? Will I get screwed over at Christmas/Black Friday/Back to school? Thanks for any help.

sorted byBudget allow £400, which would give you a lot more option. (edited)
I assume you're still saving so I'd keep an eye out for 5500U laptops over the next 5 months or so to try to see if there's any that fit within your budget.
