Matters what's in the laptop. Probably not though. How much are you willing to spend?

other than dell being bad, the processor is at the very minimum for the game and the gfx card will struggle, but it should run.

thats for the $600 laptop 

little research at a company where my dad works and this laptop is better than the one you're looking at and is a little cheaper. Idk if HP is better than dell though. Both could be bad for customer support, but I've never had trouble with an hp or compaq computer.

COH is pretty tough on my system. It runs pretty well though with most stuff on medium including tectures and detail at 1280x800. My laptop has 3GB RAM, an 8600GT, and an intel core 2 duo 2.2 ghz processor...so that is a benchmark for you. You could always lower the resolution though.

sims 2 should run fine. COH will run but with pretty much everything on low.
