Had been looking around 500-600ish mark when I came across this, so would welcome alternatives. Laptop is for FM mainly, preferably able to play around 5 leagues or so without too much pain. Not too bothered on 3D or graphics side. Thanks. That's a cracking deal for £400. You won't find better for the price and yeah, it'll be decent for FM. The 4GB RAM isn't ideal, but will be ok for FM as long as you don't have loads of stuff open in the background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to do some research and having now found this thread (which I think is great), I've just seen too many options and cannot decide what is best. (I'm not really into tech stuff so trying to analyse the spec on each laptop is baffling to me!) My budget is around £500 Any solid recommendations?

raktim0699 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hello guys, last time I was here to get a recommendation to buy a PC but could not purchase it because it went out of stock. Now, I am moving up my budget to $1000. All I want from this PC is to play FM without worrying about whether my PC can handle it or not. I want as big of data as possible and load as many players. I want it to be as authentic so, need a good PC to meet my requirements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigbFFC Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hi, Sorry I am not great with Laptop specs. I look around, find something that seems ok but then get told there are better options etc. I'm looking to play fm mainly on it's own (may have a website or two open but not always and not more than that) I like to use player face packs, kit packs and I'm looking to run a large number of leagues. I only play matches on 2D I would prefer to spend 350 - 500. Could spend a bit more, but for the extra outlay I'd prefer only to spend it if my requirements would need it. Thanks in advance!

Rafoso Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hi, First of all thanks for all the valuable answers here. This is a great community! I decided to buy a MacBook and would like to know if you would recommend me to wait for the 2022 Macbook Air with ‘M2 chip’ or to get a M1 pro chip? I know Macbook is the expensive, but I’d have two questions basically: 1) Pro 2021 or Air 2022? (considering they will launch a new Air this year) 2) how much CPU/GPU and memory would you recommend? I’m buying one to only play FM and watch videos, play music, browse internet etc no heavy work on editing videos and all that stuff. Just for private usage, but would like a powerful Macbook to run smoothly as many leagues as possible (our course, without the need to pay for the highest configurations) Thanks!

Go for as much as you can afford, as you can't upgrade. But 16GB will be plenty for the RAM (and with your usage to be honest, 8GB is probably enough). What I will say though, is you will be able to get an equivalently performing Windows machine for a much lower price than you'll pay for a Macbook so do take that into consideration.

Thanks in advance. ❤️ Nope, RAM isn't king here, the CPU is far more important but you've picked very well in that regard. Purely for FM, 8GB is enough and 16GB is plenty. In terms of the size of the game, any CPU can run any size game. It's just the larger database you load, the slower the game will process.

Whilst having 4GB RAM isn't ideal, it's still meeting the requirements for FM. You'll just need to ensure you don't have too many things running at once.

The other one you posted from Currys last week is better, but given the £200+ price difference if you'd prefer to pay the lesser amount it's a cracking deal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevhamster Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Just wanted to say I'm away for a couple of days from tomorrow and won't be on the forums at all until Friday at the earliest, so apologies to anyone who posts in the meantime.

I wanted to say thanks again as well as update you as I asked plenty of questions nearly all of which you answered and I would never have purchased this laptop without your help so thank you I've had the laptop about 2 weeks now and it's so good, I've played console games on it from xbox game pass and I'm absolutely amazed at how well it runs, I may even struggle to get back in to console gaming now 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfielding97 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hi Everyone, I have been thinking of buying a laptop to play football manager and found this thread. After reading up it seems like it's been very helpful, so I am hoping I could get some help before I buy anything. Looking to spend up to £550 and have found the below so far: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9533183 Preferably would like one I can pick up quickly or get delivered in a couple of days. Would the above laptop work and does anyone know of any better options for a similar price? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for this: https://www.box.co.uk/82LN00DJUK-Lenovo-ideaPad-5-AMD-Ryzen-5-8GB-RAM-256_3746804.html Or, if you want something you can go into a store to collect: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9535923?clickPR=plp:5:73 or https://www.currys.co.uk/products/hp-15seq2504sa-15.6-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-256-gb-ssd-silver-10226900.html These are all mostly the same spec, although the one from Argos has a much larger SSD capacity.

RTX 3050 is limited to 35 W , also it comes with only 4 cores and 60 MHz . Would that prevent me from fully enjoying 3D on high settings ? I don't want to compromise anything.

Nope, the RTX 3050 is more than good enough to max out FM's graphics settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, i found another 17,3”, a little bit more expensive but i think a prefer 17,3” Intel® Core™ i5-9300H processor 1000 GB SSD & 8 GB RAM NVIDIA® GeForce GTX™ 1650Ti 4 GB is i5 9300H bettet than Ryzen 5500U?
