xMtch Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Hey all. I'm looking fora £250 budget laptop to play FM24. I usually sim matches (more of a DOF player than a manager tbh) and graphics are on 2d with a medium database. i'm looking at this right now. Is this a good deal, and would it run what i'm looking for? https://combrotechnology.com/products/copy-of-dell-latitude-7390-intel-core-i5-7th-gen-8gb-256gb-ssd If not, i'm open to suggestions. I also will use this laptop only for FM. I have a desktop/phone to use for other services. Edited February 9 by xMtch Updating info Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would likely be ok - it doesn't give the full CPU model outside of it being an 8th gen i7, so it's hard to give an exact answer as to where it sits on the i7 range but I have no doubt it would run the game.

But, if you're looking at beyond FM24, you should probably be considering a laptop with a dedicated graphics card as we don't know what FM25's system requirements will be yet, only that minimum spec will increase.

MarkoFuu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Hi, I really don’t have much of a clue about laptops, so don’t even know where to start. I used to play fm19 and a few before that but my laptop at the time wasn’t up to it. Now I’m moving country and my PlayStation is not coming with me so I am looking for a laptop that’ll run fm24 and hopefully fm25 when it comes. I would like a decent amount of playable leagues, and will also like to watch 3D games at a high quality, and hopefully not have any worries about loading and game speed, which put me off the game before. My girlfriend will also use it occasionally (when she can get me off it), for YouTube and Netflix and other general usage. My price range would be ideally £500 but would go up to £700 if it was to ensure all this was possible. also because I am moving country, is it best i wait until I move to get the laptop, with plug adapters probably needed. Using adapters constantly won’t damage anything would it? Like I said. Clueless 🤣 Thanks Edited February 21 by MarkoFuu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTE: When traveling, check the type of power sockets that are used in the location you are traveling to. You can use universal travel adapters that help you connect the power cable to the power socket in multiple locations.

steve.battisti Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hi all, I'm starting to think about considering to be in the market for a laptop that would also be used for FM going forward. Where I'm struggling is understanding what I might need. I'm running on a 10-yo PC I built at a time in my life when I was interested in hardware and such. Those days have long passed and I have no idea what the computing scene is like anymore. My current machine has: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) 16 whole GB of RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card Samsung SSD 860 PRO 256GB drive A 1 GB WDC WD10EZEX-08M2NA0 drive So I'm sure just about anything now is faster than what I have. But I have no concept of what would be a "solid computer" these days. FM is the primary game I'd be playing on it, and beyond that it would get very little intensive use. I might play something like Civ on it, but no shooters or anything like that. I'm in the US. I don't really have a fixed budget, but, like, $1,500 / £1,200 isn't out of the realm of possibility. If I can get a great computer for less than that, fantastic. Ideas? I'm open to specific recommendations, but really, I'm just trying to understand, what is a reasonable price point these days for a decent laptop??

Just curious, when it comes to "simming," is there a consensus on what has the biggest impact on simulation time - CPU vs memory vs disk speed, etc.? Main reason I ask is because I like to do games where I sim significantly into the future. That's really difficult with my current setup unless I only load like 3-5 leagues.

ExpressMouse Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Would either of the following two laptops work for FM24? Lenovo G560 Dell Latitude E5440 Not bothered about watching games maybe the odd replay, would like to run as many of the major leagues as possible. I know the two laptops are old but they are from a family member. I'm not a tech guy at all so any help would be welcome. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
