As I'm fed up of having to stay sat at the desk now on my imac which runs FM16 fine. I don't want to spend loads and would like as big of a screen as possible. I ran the specs off this laptop on a website that I found on Google and everything was over 100% but I don't know how reliable these websites are. I just wanna run the main European leagues and maybe Brazil and Argentina. There's also 10% cashback on this so seems a good deal but wanted to get a second opinion. http://www.very.co.uk/msi-gl62-6qc-intelreg-coretrade-i5nbspprocessor-12gb-ram-1tb-hard-drive-156-inch-gaming-pc-laptop-with-nvidia-2gb-940m-graphics-black/1600065704.prd Just found this one to even though it's only an i5 it according to the website I used earlier to check specs for running fm17 this one performed better. So out of the two which would you go for? Is the msi one worth the extra dollar? Neither are worth the price when you consider both are overpriced... for example: http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J612-408-MSI-GL62-6QD-408UK_1955707.html Much better than either of those you posted for cheaper.

The easiest way of describing the difference in this particular case would be the old favourite of a car analogy.. A top of the range Ferrari will certainly have a great top speed, look great, and have a lot of trimmings.. But for significantly cheaper, you could get a car that rivals it in almost every catagory.... The Ferrari is expensive because it's a vanity thing.. it's a status thing... That said, if money is no issue at all.. why not go for the Ferrari? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martplfc1 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 They both have wifi connectivity. I suspect they would handle most online games quite easily. The more advanced games you may have to reduce the graphics quality. Depends what the kids use the internet for really. Can't think of anything they couldn't handle online.

c.ronaldo7 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi Guys, To cut a long story short, my beloved Alienware laptop of 6 years has just died, conveniently just short of the new FM being officially released! I am kind of caught between two minds of either repairing it, or retiring it and upgrading (the last FM presented a significant struggle with large databases). Having been lured into the aesthetics of the Alienware's, I am now much wiser to the fact that they're not the best spec in terms of value for money, so I'm looking for suggestions elsewhere. Feel free to throw some potential options out there! Thanks a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got a budget that can stretch to about £400 but would prefer one closer to £300 if at all possible. I usually play with three nations.

A tower is definitely more viable, but would need to include an OS of course... but will certainly suit your needs more in terms of being able to play the game on.

Cheers You should be fine with that, I5-3210m has more grunt than most people give it it credit for, you will likely start to see a fair bit of slowdown the more you get into the save though. As for the save, you can choose to save it in the steam cloud so you can load it wherever you have internet or you can just transfer it to a memory key/card, you can have steam and and FM on both devices but you'll only be able to play on one at a time, you probably already know this though so apologies if it sounds like I'm teaching you how to suck egg's lol Just as an aside, is your laptop a Sony Vaio SVE 1513q1eb?
