TheSpider Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hello, I'm in the market looking for a new laptop as my old one is basically on its last legs.

I'd go for the one with the i9-13900hx, as that one is slightly stronger of the two and for some reason it's also cheaper.

DomNA Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Hello Guys i'm new to this website, but i have quite of experience with fm, my last version played was fm20 though. I'm honestly not an expert of processors and computers in general, so i have made a list of potential new laptops (my current laptop is a very old boy, 7 years more or less, so can't compete anymore). My budget is up to 900/950 £, my daily routine, (when i can), with the laptop is basically play FM and googling that's it, i watch netflix on my phone. But with a new laptop i would like to have a great experience with FM, 3D matches doesn't really matter to me, because i'm still a 2d fan, so no expectations on the graphic side, but i would like to see speed during loading times (game initial loading, database and be able to add logos and etc.) Bear in mind i will probably decide to invest when the game will come out so around november/december (nice christmas gift for me) so i thought probably some new laptop will be on the market at that time. I currently living in London, so my eyes are focus on Argos or Currys, if there is someone living in London just let me know by DM if there are more places to have a look, thanks all in advance. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/acer-aspire-5-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i7-512-gb-ssd-grey-10238894.html https://www.currys.co.uk/products/acer-aspire-vero-av1552-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i7-1-tb-ssd-grey-10239500.html https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-yoga-slim-6i-14-laptop-intel-core-i7-1-tb-ssd-grey-10247140.html https://www.currys.co.uk/products/acer-aspire-vero-av1452p-14-laptop-intel-core-i7-1-tb-ssd-blue-10248734.html https://www.currys.co.uk/products/acer-aspire-vero-av1452p-14-laptop-intel-core-i7-1-tb-ssd-blue-10248734.html https://www.currys.co.uk/products/huawei-matebook-d16-16-laptop-intel-core-i7-512-gb-ssd-grey-10241190.html https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3117017?clickPR=plp:1:7 https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2002518?clickPR=plp:2:7 https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2911070?clickPR=plp:3:7 Edited July 19, 2023 by DomNA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually only play with 2 counties leagues open to manage so don’t need anything powerful. just a cheap reliable laptop tht I can play FM on and do simple internet browsing. I now live in Australia and have a budget of approx $700AU, or roughly £450. Any advice would be really welcome. thankyou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumbled across this - it's a couple of years old which is why it's cheap, but it will be pretty decent performance for the price. The only question for me would be FM25: you may need to turn down some graphics settings. https://www.harveynorman.com.au/acer-aspire-5-15-6-inch-r7-5700u-8gb-512gb-ssd-laptop-silver.html Edited July 22, 2023 by Gangor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old pricing on this listing is deceptive. For the same pricing you should be able to get a last gen laptop with better performance. Edit - I've done a very quick browse and found this - it's actually 2 generations old, but that's newer than the one you were looking at and would have noticeably better performance. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Vivobook-M1603QA-16-0-WUXGA/dp/B0BN8K7S9X Edit 2- This is current gen and seems a pretty good deal too. I believe it has one upgradeable RAM slot so you could make it 12gb or 20gb https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-A315-24P-15-6-Laptop/dp/B0BS9B2RPJ/ Edited July 26, 2023 by Gangor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrading the RAM with an extra 4gb would greatly improve your experience. If you can stretch to £5-600 you can get a more modern i5 or Ryzen 5 which would be a lot better and more likely to run FM25 well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWizard65 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I certainly wouldn't go for less than 12gb for Football Manager these days. Windows 11 has become a lot heavier with all the updates also a budget Ryzen 5 is the minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1979 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) I've been here before and got some great advice. I've tailored my requirements even closer though now. Still playing FM20 Touch, so don't need anything super powerful. Run 2 or 3 countries and about 8-10 divisions all in. Wanting a Windows 10 (64 bit) OS, 256 or 512gb SSD and either 8 or (preferably) 16gb ram - and a 14" screen. Laptop would mainly be plugged in, but will need a hdmi out socket as want to connect to monitor while im at home. I also only use 2d graphics. Thank you guys for any help, really appreciate it. Getting close to buying one as current pc is pretty slow now. Looking to spend no more than £400 really, but could potentially push it a touch further. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GSGV2C8?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_T7RJ2FZ75ASRHD6BCRPG_1 here's one that I quite like the look of, thoughts?

Pieman25 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Hi folks, sorry for asking so soon after joining but could someone please advise if this would be any use for FM. Prefer 3D graphics but probably only 7 or 8 leagues. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-legion-5-15.6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-rtx-3060-512-gb-ssd-10220328.html many thanks Edited July 28, 2023 by Pieman25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al9711 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Hi there. Old laptop has finally given up on me after running Football Manager for the last 8 versions. Looking for a laptop that can run multiple leagues at great performance and meet the potential new minimum requirements for FM 25. Wouldn’t like to spend any more than 1000. I mostly just use laptop for gaming just Football Manager ,watching series,YouTube and social media. Any recommendations?

scotty-corkcityfc Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Hi all Just a quick one, looking for a recommendation please if at all possible. I bought a gaming laptop from PC Specialist about 2.5 years ago and to cut a long story short its just shat itself and Im on the look for a new one. Whats bothered me the most is I moved back to my 6 year old Dell Inspiron and I cant see any speed difference so by the looks I bought a powerful laptop and spent too much on areas I didnt need so thats why I really want to nail the next one. I know the basics of whats needed but I feel FM players would be experts Im looking for a laptop that is mainly for FM (I also need it for some basic graphic work, photoshop, iIlustrator etc I'll also be telling the wife thats the main use but its not, I want 30 leagues open, I want 200,000 players, I want it all and not sluggish. I'm playing the game since CM93 so its an important part of my life. Budget would be €1,500 but I could stretch that if I could buy the same laptop within the EU (customs free). I also have no issue buying off PC Specialist again or I dont have an issue buying from Currys or somewhere either but I just want to do it right this time. Any help is greatly appreicated So priority of needs 1. FM 2. FM 3. FM 4. Adobe products 5. Some podcasting/Streaming on Twitch/video editing (Very basic) This is the basics of what I had 15.6" NTSC LED Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor 10875H (2.3GHz, 5.1GHz Turbo) 32GB Corsair 2666MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 16GB) (IM ASSUMING 32gb ramis overkil?) NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060 - 6.0GB GDDR6 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1 1TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500MB/R, 3300MB/W) __________________________________________________________________________ This is what I was looking at, is this overkill? Is there much of a difference between 1 x16gb ram and 2 x 8gb? https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/ionico-16/ (WIth 16gb Ram) or cheaper option https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/elimina-pro-16-M/ (WIth 16gb ram) Am I missing any decent deals out there at the minute?
