Can the Aspire 5 Spin 14 run The Sims 4?

The Sims 4 by Maxis: the publisher’s own minimum requirements, compared with this exact laptop.

Minimum requirements

Likely meets minimum requirements

Likely meets recommended requirements

The publisher lists GeForce 6600 series (legacy) (tier 1), Radeon X1300 (tier 1), Intel GMA X4500 (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. Intel Iris Xe Graphics (inferred): LIKELY. Intel Iris Xe Graphics is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. The result is capped at LIKELY because this graphics part depends on the memory configuration. Assumption: we have no configuration list for this model, so the graphics are inferred from its Intel Core i5-1335U and assumed to be integrated-only (a version with a discrete GPU would rate higher). (Core i5/i7 U-series parts of 12th/13th generation use Intel Iris Xe Graphics (Core i5-1335U); the manufacturer notes Iris Xe needs dual-channel memory (single-channel configurations get UHD Graphics).)

How this was judged

Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
