PureSloth Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Eugene- do you think this laptop would run FM (say half a dozen leagues or so, nothing OTT) at a decent speed?

Smurf Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yes, not all i7s are better than i5s, or not all i5s are better than i3s etc. The one in your link is fine. It's 2.4ghz which is ok and can reach higher speeds, but don't count on it. Football manager is a processing game, it needs a fast processor. Google the processor number and you'll find out all about it - concentrate on the base frequency speed, and ignore the turbo speeds. Get the fastest you can afford. RAM - for a 64 bit system, stay at 8gb or more, don't go lower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey1978 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I had a budget of £400 and wasn't sure I'd be able to get anything particularly good. I wanted to get either Dell, HP or Lenovo based on past experience, and also wanted Intel rather than AMD processor. I went for this in the end: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/lenovo-g70-17-3-laptop-black-10105268-pdt.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw6Z2pBRCmvaXq6d7FjUoSJAAc5LriIurceGUwGHOQAoLC56Y8fb7i0gGk41JEn_yRcaXe6hoCdoXw_wcB&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~%28LTC%29+1011+WINDOWS+LAPTOPS+%26+CONVERTABLES~10105268+-+G70+Lenovo~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!63992537660!p!!g!!g70&ef_id=VRaP2QAABJh4zOWs:20150410190445:s#cat-0 It "only" has an i3-4005U processor and 4GB RAM, but also has a 1TB HDD (with a clever 8GB SSD built in for the OS), and a nice big 17.3" screen. I then ordered another 4GB of RAM from Crucial, for the princely sum of £25.19 including free delivery. £405 has bought me a laptop with a big screen (important for me both for FM and for more serious stuff), and you know what, it runs FM nice and quick for me; it even manages a good stab at the 3D match view - low detail but silky smooth. I think what I'm trying to say is that everyone has different priorities and expectations for how they want/expect FM to run. I'm running 4 countries' full league structures and its rattling along at great pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It's not intended to put you off - it's just to advise you what's good and what's not based on our own opinions. Here's some to consider, considering you can get extra RAM for free It's a i5 3230m - Dual Core 2.6ghz with turbo boost - launched early 2013 http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Refurbished_A1_Acer_TravelMate_P253_Core_i5-3230M_4GB_500GB_15.6_DVDSM_Win_A1-NX.V7VEK.011/version.asp It's an i3-4300m - Dual Core 2.4ghz - no turboboost - launched late 2013 http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/A1_Fujitsu_Lifebook_E554_Core_i3-4000M_2.4GHz_4GB_500GB_DVDRW_15.6_INCH_HD__A1-VFYE5540M13A1GB/version.asp It's an i7-3537U - Dual Core - 2ghz - turboost - launched early 2013 http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Refurbished_Grade_A1_Asus_X550CA_Core_i7_4GB_500GB_15.6_inch_Windows_8_Lapt_a1-X550CA-XX101H/version.asp This is my favourite for a different reason - six cores @2ghz http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Refurbished_Grade_A1_15-P170NA_I3-4030U-8GB-1TB_TS_SILVER_a1-K3H22EA/version.asp It's not bad - but it's not the fastest processor but it has 6 cores (as opposed to 2 or 4) and FM will use as many cores are as available. I'm a bit up in the air about that one. If I were you I'd go for the i5 3230m Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Probably worth clarifying what you expect to get out of the laptop. What will be the primary use for the laptop?

Smurf Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Sounds good. Although it only has 4 cores, but has 8 threads, it can be up to 8 cores with hyperthreading. I have the GeForce 540m in my other laptop and it's pretty good. But you may want to toggle the GPU assisted in the preferences to see which gives better performance.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Do you mean change it from GPU to Software on FM in the preferences cos I have already changed it to software straight away, might change it to GPU and see how it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhowie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 looking to buy a surface pro at the moment. How well does the game work with touch controls? Is the windows version of FMC fully touch compatible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR866Gunner Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi all, I bought a Toshiba Satellite series laptop 4 years ago with an i3 processor and 3GB RAM.I'm looking to replace this in the next couple of weeks, but I have one question to anyone who has a Toshiba laptop of recent vintage: how quiet is it? Let me explain - my Toshiba is NOISY. I mean "Heathrow flightpath" noisy. I mean "getting sent out of the room so the wife can hear Coronation Street noisy". And not just while playing FM (although it's probably at its worst then), but also during general web browsing. So, before I consider a Toshiba again (which has, apart from that issue, been a fantastic laptop), does anyone else have a similar experience? IVe had an old Toshiba granted it was a 6 yo laptop and was louder than most but not constant. I would say open her up (not the wife) and check the fans for dirt/dust build up this is common on laptops to get clogged up with dust causing the fans to go nuts! I really like the build quality of the Toshiba I had, I have an HP now which I do love but even that can be noisy sometimes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 looking to buy a surface pro at the moment. How well does the game work with touch controls? Is the windows version of FMC fully touch compatible? It will work on Surface Pro, but don't expect anything amazing, as the game is not designed to be touch screen optimised, and last I heard, they have no plans to. But you can plug a mouse into the Surface Pro so it should be ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
