bennytee Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If anybody is looking at around the £700 mark then this looks like a great deal, stunning price really. http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/stormforce-wildfire-core-i7-6700hq-8gb-1tb-128gb-ssd-geforce-gt940-dvd-rw-7270-9069/version.asp Only issue would be the screen resolution which is unstated, might be worth ringing to ask first is 1080 or 720 is a dealbreaker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyMc1410 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi guys I am a novice with laptops and bought one a few years ago and FM12 didnt run very well. Anyway just after some help I have a budget of around 400-700. I am after something that can maybe run a good few nations and a good number of players. 3D would be rarely used.

tractorboy7777# Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm looking to get a new laptop that will cope with a fairly large fm database i.e 5/6 countries and also be quick with day to day internet browsing, etc. I have had a good experience with Lenovo and have found a couple on John Lewis that look good. Was just wondering whether either were good value for money and whether they'd cope with the database I'm hoping to play? http://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-ideapad-310-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-ram-2tb-15-6-full-hd/p2839970?sku=236268334&s_kwcid=2dx92700016574805558&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=CJ3wyNGLp9ICFXMz0wod5_cI6A&gclsrc=aw.ds http://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-ideapad-310-laptop-amd-a12-12gb-ram-1tb-15-6-full-hd-white/p2913156?sku=236268307&s_kwcid=2dx92700016574805450&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=COGDidWLp9ICFeQW0wodC_YH-g&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ollie You would get very good performance. The only drawbacks for me are the relatively low resolution (1366×768) and traditional hdd as opposed to ssd. For the price though that spec is fantastic . Normally laptops at that price have 4gb ram and Intel celeron processors which are terrible for anything more than browsing the Web and basic office duties.

Ridiculously good price. Says it's unavailable for delivery and that I can't pick it up anywhere within 100 miles to me which I find hard to believe living so close to London and lots of other PC world stores. No indication that it's just out of stock but that could be the case and maybe it might be available if it is just a glitch or something. Meanwhile what other options in that price range (350-500) are there to consider? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCD Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 One thing to bear in mind is the laptop you linked to has the latest intel processor, so PC World just don't have much stock in at the minute. The 7th gen processors were released this quarter so really new. PC world are still in the process of trying to clear stock of laptops with the 6th generation Intel processors. The only worry will be whether the offer will still be available when stock levels do improve. If I'm honest I can see the price rising shortly, for them to then reduce it during the Easter sales, but at that point there'll likely be more stock available.

ollies233 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 @Welshace Right I've found two laptops same price but one is a 6th gen i7 and one is a 7th gen i5, how much difference really is there between generations and which one will be faster? Sometimes these things can just be a gimmick to make things seem updated when really your just paying more for the same so any advice would be appreciated. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VivoBook-X556UA-DM326T-Notebook-i7-6500/dp/B01HMZRIGO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-Inpsiron-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Windows-x/dp/B01MRSXP2H/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1488213799&sr=8-14&keywords=laptop+i5+7200u Basically whichever one will run FM faster, cheers.

If you can stretch the budget slightly i'd go for this StormForce Wildfire Core i5-6300HQ The key thing here is the HQ part at the end. Unless you absolutely have to have long battery life the laptops ending in U are best avoided as they will be dramatically less powerful. Others may disagree but it would be my main consideration.

scott-h22 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi i've been looking to buy a new laptop recently, due an upgrade on my current one that works fine but can't really cope with the 3D match engine unless I untick the crowd, stadium etc in the preferences also I can only have around 4 leagues loaded at one time and it usually goes down to 3* speed at that point. I generally only play FM on my laptop in terms of gaming but obviously use it for other daily uses. Anyway I am obviously a n00b when it comes to buying something good which is why i'm asking for advice in this topic, i've looked through this and had a look at all the links posted and just wanted some advice on these few laptops that I am looking at, one of which I saw was linked on here. Would they all be good enough to play FM lag free with multiple leagues loaded and be able to handle the 3D match engine without having to turn the stadium etc off? I have no issues paying for the most expensive one but I just want to know if it's worth buying that rather than getting one of the other cheaper laptops i've seen? http://www.harveynorman.ie/computing/laptops/hp-pavilion-15-notebook-15-ab128na.html http://www.harveynorman.ie/computing/laptops/acer-aspire-15.6-laptop-es1-523.html or the one linked here http://www.laptopsdirect.ie/stormforce-wildfire-core-i5-6300hq-8gb-1tb-geforce-gt940-dvd-rw-15.6-inch-w-7240-9067/version.asp Any help is much appreciated.

frank_olaf Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I need some help choosing between these two laptops. http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=1DN37EA&opt=ABU&sel=NTB http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-7567-laptop/pd?oc=cn56702&model_id=inspiron-15-7567-laptop After discounts I can get them both for around £900, which is the top end of my budget. Purely from the specs the Dell is better as it has a better graphics card (GTX 1050 Ti 4GB vs GTX 1050 2 GB) and 256 GB SSD vs a 128 GB SSD on the HP but there have been a lot of bad reviews about the screen on the Dell. Does anyone have this laptop or used it and can feedback on the screen? I do connect my laptop to an external monitor so it might not be too much of an issue. The thing putting me off the HP is their reputation. I've read a lot about their laptops not being very durable and poor with heat management/cooling. Does anyone have experience with the HP gaming laptops that can confirm or deny this? The one positive about the HP is that for "only" £50 extra you can get three year pick up and repair service, which would help alleviate some of my worries about durability. Obviously the better specs, graphics card and SSD, on the Dell are nice to have but I don't really need them. The most graphic intensive game I play is Motorsport Manager, so I'm sure the GTX 1050 2 GB would be fine for this. The main use for the laptop will be playing FM, motorsport manager and OOTP with normal web browsing as well. I'd like a laptop that is somewhat future proofed so I can keep it for at least five years. I'd appreciate any advice and/or feedback on any of these laptops.

TheGreatBOD Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hello I have been looking at purchasing a new desktop PC to play Football Manager on (don't have much luck with laptops and the one I currently have isn't the greatest) but I was taking a look at this PC - https://www.tesco.com/direct/cube-rebellion-turbo-ultra-fast-quad-core-esport-ready-gaming-pc-bundle-with-acer-23-hd-monitor-amd-a-series-quad-core-1000gb-windows-8-integrated-gra/141-5039.prd and was wondering how good would that be for FM? I would be downloading facepack megapack and a logo megapack along with all the current kits as well as wanting to play a few leagues at a time with a reasonable star limit. Would this be a good enough one or should I still be looking elsewhere? I'm an idiot with this sort of thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily... it's a bit more complicated... the first number on intel's is the generation . so 5th 6th or 7th as it is now.. then you get different classes from there so 7200 7500 7700 and some in between, and then you get the letters after it which donate certain features.. ie HQ means High performance Quad core... M means Mobile etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of AMD.. but yeah, great price considering it includes monitor and peripherals etc. Only thing it lacks is a wireless card really. And it will certainly play FM with a fair few leagues actually.. decent find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Gooner Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 In regards to laptops that have come out with the 7th Gen processors and 1050/1050Ti graphics, how long do you think these graphics card would last until they were unable run the 3D engine in future FM's? Do you think any laptop with either of these GPU's in would last a minimum of 3 years? Cheers LG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn't seem to have SSD, does that make much difference to the game or is it pretty irreverent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Wireless card would just mean you don't have to connect to your internet router by a wire.. An SSD is a lovely thing to have but it's not needed for fm really... the game makes little use of one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
