mufcchampmanfan Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I've seen skins recently for Netbooks which makes me wonder if you can run Football Manager on a Netbook. I didn't think they'd be anywhere near powerful enough to run the game. If it is possible great, could someone point me in the direction of one. Been thinking about getting a netbook for a while for computing on the move and it'd be great if it could play FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted July 6, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted July 6, 2010 The game is not deisgned to be playable on netbooks although, as you say, some people have done netbook skins. Please be aware that we don't offer any support for netbooks at all, nor do we test on them, so it's not recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skingegg Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I played a management game many years ago that had a picture/photo of a mock 'back page' of a newspaer with headlines like "Utd sign Messi for £100m" or "City sell Silva to clear debts" or "Liverpool appoint Player X as manager". It was daft and pointless but fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indi75 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 A Netbook would be a crazy idea. From the perspective of Processor, RAM, and GPU they simply won't do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdpatriots12 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Some might. But they'd be "netbooks" almost only in name. Play around on Newegg, there's some interesting options out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorMoses Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm playing on a Dell Mini 11 now - the 3d engine sucks RAM so i stick to classic 2d - other than that, no problems, unless you try to run 20 countries leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcchampmanfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 I don't run the 3D engine on my big Quad-Core Desktop so thats not really an issue for me. I only use the commentary option. I was looking at a Samsung Netbook the X120 1.3GHZ Dual Core Intel Processor, 3GB Ram, Intel GMA 4500M HD Graphics. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176512 I Figure that should run it at a basic level just so I can play. I only ever run one league when I play anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 That is a powerful netbook. But for that price you can get a much more powerful 15" laptop which surely isn't too much bigger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorMoses Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 my netbook only has Intel Atom Z520 (1.33 GHz), 1GB of RAM and Intel GMA 3150 graphics and it runs fine, so with that spec above you'll be super fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimm! Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I played a management game many years ago that had a picture/photo of a mock 'back page' of a newspaer with headlines like "Utd sign Messi for £100m" or "City sell Silva to clear debts" or "Liverpool appoint Player X as manager". It was daft and pointless but fun where did this bit come from? How much cheaper are netbooks than laptops? Might as well just get a laptop if FM s gonna be a bit part of its use.

mufcchampmanfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 I don't want a Laptop as they are quite big for lugging around on my travels. I used to have a portable DVD player for use when I'm away in strange places holed up in Hotels. I figured a Netbook would be similar size, so I can sling it in my suitholder or wash bag etc, it'd allow me to do much more, play all my media and if it could play Football Manager that would be a massive bonus. Stop my boredom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Chief_ Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 No problem at all, go for it. I have an ASUS-1005HA and a MSI-U123 both with Atom N280 and 2Gb. Works very well including 3D. Get the netbook skin and steam if you don't have a CD. At home you can even attach your monitor (24"). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llDracoll Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have a laptop with an AMD Sempron processor (2.1 GHz) and 1 GB. I doesn't run THAT bad, but it's horribly slow on days like early FA Cup Stages or World Cup Qualification Stages, but I understand that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcchampmanfan Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Think I'm going to go for the MSI Wind U230. Seems oretty good spec and can use it during the day for transfering camera footage to for analysing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
