I could definitely be in the market for a stolen computer.

I just saw an ad for Google Chromebook that's $250.  No idea if it can do sim city.

[FuzzyWuzzy]

Chromebooks only run a webbrowser, so nope

You can usually expect to find something like an hp laptop for $300.  You might have to look a little.  $350-$400 without shopping around.

i think your cheapest option without finding a stolen PC or sick mother-in-law is building your own desktop.

If you buy the parts, I can put it together for you.   It's super easy.

[Kat Kid]

Ok, I'll bite.  Which parts should I buy?

If you play on low graphics settings you could play it on a sub $400 laptop.

You could probably build a desktop for a fairly cheap price.
