I get I'll have to buy a new motherboard, but with the new atx12vo standard, will I have to buy a new PSU, replace my Asus Xonar sound card, buy a new graphics card (GTX 1080), and so on as well? I have tried to google, but it's just a crazy jungle of words to me. Your graphics card will be fine. Your PSU will most likely be fine, but without knowing what PSU and CPU you currently have, it's impossible to say for sure. Your sound card should also be fine if your new mobo has enough PCI-E slots for that and any other hardware you have which required PCI-E slots. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can load all leagues and nations and large database and get 5 stars. The in-game star-rating (last I know of) isn't accurate. The only thing that matters if you're happy with the progress of the in game day to day. For some 5 minutes is superfast - and others it's superslow. Realistically, you load the leagues/nations/database size of the game you want to play - so it performs at a speed that you're happy with. Two people could have the exact same specs (including Macs) and the exact same leagues/nations - and the progress could be too slow for 1 person and just right for another person.

Honor Magic The biggest thing here is the processor - it's better. It has more RAM. It has a larger hard drive. Only negative - it has no dedicated graphics card - not a huge deal if only playing FM and mostly 2D.

For reference - if anyone wants similar performance in a PC Laptop https://www.box.co.uk/GA401QM-K2023T-ASUS-ROG-Zephyrus-G14-AMD-Ryzen-9-32GB-R_3554166.html And for the record - if you're spending over £1000 on a laptop for FM it's likely to be a flyer. Anything over £2000 and you might as well start offering services to launch satelites for NASA. Just to reitteriate - there is nothing amazing about the Mac M1 chip - it's just a processor that is good - and you can get a similar performance for about half the price. Enjoy the new Mac.

I WANT TO USE MAC! So no, I can't have a similar PC laptop .. because those can't run macOS. People ask me how the performance is on the 14" MacBook Pro. So stop replying with those dumb comments about the price. The comments are valid. Yes, the new M1 Macs are very good indeed. And some people will want Macs for a specific reason, whether it be they're used to Mac OS, or because of a specific piece of software they use for work which isn't available on Windows. But for the general user, who doesn't have such requirements, spending the extra money on a Mac is a waste of money when you can get equivalent performance for half the price. Part of what we do is doing everything we can to ensure people get value for money - so Smurf's points about the price of the Macs are very much valid within the context of this thread. And for balance, we will both also point out that the Macbook Air M1 cannot be beaten for price or performance (currently) for anyone who wants a 13" machine.

My limit is 1400 euro (which makes around 1200 pound I believe) and playing with more leagues selected is more important for me than having great graphics (which would be fine though). Do you have any suggestions? I don't know much about gaming laptops but after some "research" I found gigabyte g5 and lenovo legion 5 pro. what would you say about them? 1 hour ago, John Joe O'toole said: For that price you could get an M1 Mac. Gaming laptops seem to get incredibly hot and the battery is awful. The Macbook I just bought is great on battery and has only ever got 'warm'. This is untrue for many reasons - I have a gaming laptop - never gets hot at all. Macs can get hot, very hot The fact that yours only gets 'warm' just means you may not be putting it through the same strain as someone else might. Sacrafice for Macbook Air is screen size They are the best 13 inch portably laptop for the price - and if you're happy with that screen size the go for it. 13inch Macbook Air €1200 256gb hard drive 13 inch screen 13inch Macbook Air €1400 512gb hard drive 13 inch screen Next Macs start at €2249 For me - No thanks 37 minutes ago, Santa Claus said: It has probably been asked at some point previously but is it possible to run FM 22 on Ubuntu? Might be through Wine or something - but no guarantees. FM is not supported on Linux Edited November 1, 2021 by Smurf 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The to 499 will do the trick and good for portability Of course. Besides if I am doing heavy multi tasking or running ludicrous amounts of leagues, are you likely to notice much of a performance difference between 8gb and 16 gb RAM given the CPU and SSD are the same? OP suggests perhaps not - but I understand the £599 one is going to be objectively *better*. Edited November 1, 2021 by Jazzbobification Typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RAM will be a benefit in some scenarios, but overall it won't impact FM hugely. General rule of thumb is go with the better processor. Which is the Honor Magic, and it has more RAM than the others anyway. If you want to play matches in 3D in mid-high detail - then go with the one on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc.cadoni Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Question: Is there something similar in EU like box.co.uk? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansh1989 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Thanks for the reply. Would it be worth paying a bit more for the Ryzen 7 5800h over the Ryzen 5 5600h? Same spec laptop otherwise.
