It'll almost certainly be slower, and RAM doesn't work nearly as well if it's in uneven amounts (like one 16GB stick and one 4GB stick). I'd actually advise 2 sticks of 8GB RAM, as it means it's spread across 2 connections with the CPU, which means it can access and utilise the RAM better than if it was one single stick of 16GB.

RAM is sold in kits for a reason, they need to be same voltage etc. to work best. With new motherboards and chipsets it's probably less of a problem as it was years ago. But still, buy a kit of RAM and don't mix and match RAM - it's always been a good idea to buy in kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - I do think this year will have a few nice new laptops on the market - and tablet devices - so if you can hold off you may get a newer spec machine than what's out there at the moment.

I do not really want to spend more than £800, is there anything out there comparable? The next version up is in stock but the only difference I can see is 1050 ti graphics card, rather than 1050.

Many thanks in advance Processor - the better is obviously what you want to go for. FM is largely still single core processing, so having more cores/threads is not really an advantage, surprisingly the i5 8300H and the i7 8750H have similar single core/thread performance. But you should definitely get the best processor you can afford - which is the i7 in this case - or something else with a higher rating the Single Core Performance. RAM: - minimum of 8gb Graphics: 1050 2gb is probably the min I would recommend. 1050 4gb is better 1060 3gb is better 1060 6gb is better 1070 is better 1070 ti is better 1080 is better 1080 ti is better Getting more expensive.

RexEverything Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks @Smurf, much appreciated - looking again at the site, I've seen the Comsos VII. If I upgrade the processor on that to the i7, the RAM to 8GB, and the graphics card to the GTX1050, do you think that will do the trick then? https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/cosmosVII-15/ Also, I notice with the RAM that I can have either 1x8GB, or 2x4GB - I think I read elsewhere that 2x4GB is better, is that right?

But will 2x8gb increase simulating the game when I am on holidays for example to check new tactic how it works, or just normal playing moving between days increase it a lot and it will be much faster?

Connor Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Hi Smurf I am after a bit of advice, if you don't mind please. After having bought and returned the following recently: after having a MacBook Air (excellent battery life) and looking at the good advice here, I am stuck as to what to do?: Have tried MSI 8RC - Too big/heavy HP Envy 13 - Poor Battery Life My key reason for purchasing the laptop are to play Football Manager, with portability (Max 13 inch screen and around 1.5kg) and long battery life, as I would like to play off charge most of the time. I seem to therefore be looking towards something like an XPS/Macbook 13" with integrated graphics UHD Graphics 620 and a 8th gen i5/7 u series quad core processor (as these tend to have the better battery life), I completely understand that will mean low-medium graphics on 3D, but are you able to recommend anything else that would do me few years playing FM please. Have a budget of around 1500 max Thank you Edited January 24, 2019 by Connor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 1 hour ago, RexEverything said: Thanks @Smurf, much appreciated - looking again at the site, I've seen the Comsos VII. If I upgrade the processor on that to the i7, the RAM to 8GB, and the graphics card to the GTX1050, do you think that will do the trick then? https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/cosmosVII-15/ Also, I notice with the RAM that I can have either 1x8GB, or 2x4GB - I think I read elsewhere that 2x4GB is better, is that right? Thanks again Thing is, if you have 1x 8 gb stick of ram and the ram fails (which can happen) your computer is just dead. If you have 2 x 4 gb RAM and one stick fails, your computer will still run on 1 x 4gb RAM. The advantage also being it's cheaper to replace 1 x 4 gb ram stick, than replacing a 1 x 8 gb ram stick (the price is different). A few reasons to go with 2x4gb ram sticks, which would be my preference. 1 hour ago, LukasZ_VCF said: But will 2x8gb increase simulating the game when I am on holidays for example to check new tactic how it works, or just normal playing moving between days increase it a lot and it will be much faster? I checked once and it was saying like it takes like 79 % of ram or something... No, barely make a difference at all. More ram is better though. 16gb is the max I would go, don't really need to go any higher at the moment. 1 minute ago, Connor said: Hi Smurf I am after a bit of advice, if you don't mind please.

Connor Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi Smurf I have already had that specific Envy one and battery performance with the MX150 graphics card, means you only end up getting a couple of hours (so I returned that one)... crying shame as a lovely laptop actually other than that The Huawei one looks decent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McClane29 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Anyone got any experience with Huawei's Matebook X Pro? Looks like a great alternative to Apple. Curious to know if anyone has played FM on a Huawei laptop as I've had a lot of issues on a Dell laptop with a 4K screen, and the Matebook X Pro has a 3K screen. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-Matebook-PRO-13-89-Inch-Laptop/dp/B07KCJGGW3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
