But I think it's almost time for a new pc, and intrigued by the size of a mini pc. I only play FM Touch 2020, and watch in 2d. Would one of these Beelink mIni PC's be fine to play on please? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09V81NML4?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_WNCX5VYXB7M0Q9H1RSVN I tend to only run the 4 main English and Scottish leagues too, but as big a database as I can. Or, on the other hand would you suggest a laptop? My budget would be a maximum of £350. I would want an HDMI connection so I could hook it up to my monitor, also a minimum of 256 GB SSD. One further basic question, if I bought a laptop to run FMT20, is it possible to turn off the screen and still play through the attached monitor? Help greatly appreciated 👍 I'd avoid that. It appears to be an Inter Celeron CPU, which tend to be weak CPU's. For that sort of budget, I'd go for this: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/acer-aspire-3-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i5-256-gb-ssd-silver-10239515.html I'm not sure if you can turn of the integrated display if using the HDMI output. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the OP, we can't comment on how many leagues any specific PC will run as how fast a speed is acceptable is very subjective. I wouldn't be particularly confident that this one would run 3D very well. For FM23, it'll likely run 3D at lower settings, but I'd be surprised if it was for anything higher than low 3D settings. It also only has 4GB RAM which isn't really ideal. To be honest, you probably need to increase the budget a bit more than this to get a decent experience.

KeanoH Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Hello, i've been browsing this thread for the last week trying to find info on updating my computer as mine went bust recently (lasted 17 years though) & has left me in a dilemma. I'm unsure if it's better to get a laptop or computer overall as I mostly see laptops suggested in here. I use it mostly for FM, streaming & general use. I have a £800 budget but am only able to get it off of ao.com & am wondering the best option be it PC or Laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I said, i've been monitoring this thread but am awful at computer specs & feel i'd be monitoring the thread for another month if I don't just ask.

I'd assume if most are interested in laptops, the pros outweigh the cons. I have a desk setup for it anyway & would have the laptop screen + another if I got one.

The bottom one is from last year and should be a bit faster. Any of them will run FM well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking if getting this one. Hoping battery life is towards the 8 hours as advertised aswell. Sorry for hijacking someone else’s question 🙈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM25 with the changes that are coming in for that is much harder to call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikcheck Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hello guys, As I'm complete noob regarding this subject, could you please recommend a laptop that's not too big nor expensive? It would be really just to play FM basically and nothing else, and that I can take it with me outside. Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I'd need to know what sort of budget you have. £400 could be expensive to some, where as for some that would be cheap, so I have no idea how much you want to spend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Yeah sorry. 400 seems about right. Do you think I could get something nice in that price range? Maybe 350/400 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangor Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 For those considering a cheap laptop, Linus Tech Tips, a well known tech Youtube channel, recently made a video which may be relevant to you. It is an extreme example but I think illustrates quite well why you should be avoiding laptops on the budget end of the scale. They also make a helpful recommendation. Skip to the end if their cheesy shenanigans are too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calllumaufc Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hi guys, not played FM on the laptop or PC for a good 6 or 7 year and just been playing the touch version on the IPad. Didn’t have the time to play for a while. Anyway looking to get a laptop and it will just be for playing FM and general use. For my FM saves I wont be running a mass amount of leagues and nations will probably be all the English and Scottish plus maybe one more country. Would like to be able to watch the 3D fairly well if that’s possible in my budget. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-ideapad-5i-14-chromebook-intel-core-i5-256-gb-ssd-grey-10239810.html had a look at that in curry’s but I’ve honestly no idea been out the loop that long. If yous could point me to anything else on curry’s that would be great roundabout that budget give it take a £100. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Definitely don't buy that as it's a Chromebook, which won't run FM as FM isn't compatible with ChromeOS. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/asus-vivobook-15-x1500ea-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i5-512-gb-ssd-black-10240161.html will do the job.

If you tell me your country and ideally some websites that you'd use there as well as the budget in your currency and I'll take a look for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
