Smurf Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 2 hours ago, MT55 said: Hi @Smurf and @kevhamster. I hope you guys don't mind me asking as this thread title says for FM21. But could you guys reccomended a laptop to play the older versions of FM on? Primary FM12/13. I obviously don't want to spend loads of money on a laptop to play older games, but I've really fancied playing the older games lately. FM12 says it needs a processor of a min of 1.6gz. Atm I can't find any cheap ones that are higher than 1.1gz. any help will be greatly appreciated What the budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that sort of budget, you're better off with a refurb model, as most of the brand new ones at that price are frankly crap.

Stoneeee123 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hello, I have a budget of around £1k, could possibly go a little bit over if needed. I want a laptop that can run fm, I only play 2D with 3D highlights but the main thing is I will also use my laptop for work so if there is a laptop that would run it well whilst also not looking too much like a gaming laptop would be perfect.

Brrazzerss Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hey guys i recently bought surface pro 7+ (i5, 8gb ram and 256gb ssd) i got it mainly for work however as probably most of us Football Manager will always remian in my heart. I wanted to ask if anyone has expirienced playing it on such a laptop, and can i run it without compromising my laptop. When i checked it in "can i run it" it told me i lack minimum requiremnt in video memory. Intel Iris video graphic only has 128 ram while minimum requirements are 255MB. Also if i was to play 2D mode would that make any difference to the usage of graphics card. Thanks :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CPU scores quite similarly but it has a dedicated graphics card which will definitely enable you to max out the graphics settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, although I don't doubt it will run it, you may get performance stutters when it warms up. These are much better bets for over £100 less: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-inspiron-14-5405-14-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-256-gb-ssd-silver-10208028-pdt.html https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-5-a514-54-14-laptop-intel-core-i5-256-gb-ssd-black-silver-10216768-pdt.html Or for £40 less you can have an actual gaming laptop: https://www.box.co.uk/81LK01PRUK-Lenovo-ideaPad-L340-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RA_3064871.html Thats brilliant, thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgreen94 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I need some technical advice. My current PC specs are listed below but after 4 years of playing FM17-21 it’s starting to sound like a tractor! (1x) *Build Promo* Intel Core i3-8100 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Quad Core Processor (1x) Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G24 (1x) Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Dual 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (1x) Phanteks Eclipse P400 Midi Tower Case - Black Window (1x) Asus PCE-N15 300Mbps 802.11B/G/N Wireless PCI-E Network Adapter I’m currently speculating whether or not to replace it with a MacBook Air with the M1 chip but I’m sceptical about how FM will run on an apple device? I use a custom database with players with a national - continental reputation on view only but it’s been rather laggy lately. any help is much much appreciated!

The benchmarks say the M1 Macbooks run the game very well. But, if you're seriously looking at buying a new PC, you can get a very good gaming PC or laptop for the same money.

Cristian9567 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, my current laptop is very bad, i try to play FM Touch 21 on it but the processing of the games is taking so long, i have to wait up to 7/8 minutes to process a week, with only 3 leagues loaded, and I repeat its FM Touch, not the full game. So now i want to buy a new laptop. My budget is 600 pounds. What do you think about this one ? Buy HP Pavilion 15 15.6in Ryzen 5 8GB 256GB Laptop - Silver | Laptops | Argos P.S. I plan to use the laptop only for the game and nothing else Edited August 14, 2021 by Cristian9567 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
