They're all great. FM22 specs seem to be identical to FM21. Specs wise, I'd go for the middle one as that Ryzen 7 does score a little higher than the i7 in the other two but it is close. It is refurbished though, so I would check the 12 month warranty still applies. If not, go for the Medion as the graphics card is better - whilst that isn't necessary for FM, you may as well get the better option seeing as they're priced the same. It does give you a bit more flexibility if you do decide to play other games and want higher graphical settings.

Bruntdog88 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hi, Im looking for a new laptop purely to run FM22.

I have seen this Acer laptop and wanted to know your yours thoughts AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor. Quad core processor. 2.1GHz processor speed with a burst speed of 3.7GHz. 8GB RAM DDR4. 256GB SSD storage. Windows 10 Home AMD Radeon Vega 8 graphics card.

Smurf Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 20 minutes ago, oche balboa said: What leagues can these run with ease? If you read the opening post you will see it can't be determined. In my opinion, all computers can run all leagues with ease. Just depends on how you view ease. 20 minutes per day might be fine for me, but slow for you. It's all relative. That being said - it's an excellent computer, so you could probably run all the leagues. There are other factors - how many seasons do you usually play? I play 100 seasons and start over. So loading all leagues and storing all data for 100 seasons with all leagues would not work. But if you only play for 10 seaons, you could reasonably load all the leagues. Or 5 seasons. It's all relative though, what are you happy with in terms of performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruntdog88 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 so these are the 4 options I have narrowed it down to. Which would you recommend for a budget laptop for only playing FM22 on? Want to run a few leagues with med database but generally not past 10 seasons. Also would like to have the option of watching highlights in 3d. 1. https://www.box.co.uk/AVITA-LIBER-NS14A8UKV542-MB-Avita-Liber-V-14-Pro-Ryzen-5-8GB-RAM-256_3355367.html 2. https://www.box.co.uk/30031064-Medion-Akoya-E15303-AMD-Ryzen-3-8GB-RAM-_3552567.html 3. https://www.box.co.uk/82C70004UK-Lenovo-V15-Ryzen-3-8GB-RAM-256GB-SSD-Win_2928663.html 4. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8483935?clickSR=slp:term:laptops:4:8:1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would you recommend for a budget laptop for only playing FM22 on? Want to run a few leagues with med database but generally not past 10 seasons.

The 4th choice has the same CPU as the 1st one, but is more expensive. The third one I'd leave out of consideration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jckennedy1982 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I know the Dell XPS 9310 can run football manager really well and with very high graphics settings. But the MacBook M1's are so tempting. So question is can the M1's run FM with very high settings and run it without issue? I've seen reports of overheating etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a Macbook Air M1 myself, can confirm it runs hot on 3D, 2D no issue (and 3D still runs on high details but chassis does get hot) Overall though purely for FM, the Macbook Air M1, is probably the quickest (in terms of bang for buck) you can get to play FM (Check out benchmarking thread, mutiple examples near the top of those tests) My only cons, would be screen size if you don't connect it to an external monitor (which I do) and running hot on 3D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervo06 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi, looking to upgrade my laptop for FM 22 - I will use it mainly for FM, maybe I'd also use it for streaming and some video editing. Of course I'd like to select as many leagues and players as possible. My ideal budget is around 1000 EUR (around 900 GBP I guess), but can go a little over, if there's a significant upgrade. Thanks for any advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any advice Can you give some examples of stores you can order from within your country (you've not stated where you're based) - I can have a look and see what's on offer where you are.

diddydaddydoddy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Hi Gents Looking at a new laptop for FM22, but not bought a laptop for c5 years so out of the loop of whats good or not. So any advice is welcome. Ideally for FM; 3D ME high settings, 5/6 leagues at most, large DB. Spec-wise; SSD, dedicated graphics card ? (though currently have NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M that has caused lots of issues even at lower settings), 15" or 17" screen, good build quality (have a Lenovo that is disappointing build-wise), future proofed as much as poss Other use; web, streaming/Netflix/Spotify, online research (of course) Budget; c£600 +/- c£50 (realistic?) Did see these, but open to your guys alternative suggestions... https://www.box.co.uk/30029417-Medion-Erazer-E10-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RAM-_3201865.html https://www.box.co.uk/FX506LH-HN004-ASUS-TUF-GAMING-F15-(No-OS-Model)-Intel-_3609897.html Edited September 24, 2021 by diddydaddydoddy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had Intel, so how does the AMD compare? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
