    Good value for money.  Decent CPU.  Modest graphics card, but that's all you need for FM.

    To answer the other question, usually CPU models with a "U" at the end signify being ultra-low power processors - so great for portable general use laptops as they don't heat up much, but prone to throttling so not great for anything gaming related.

    Thanks mate

    What reference processors should I really be looking at?

    What graphics cards are not entry level without being the top end ones? Where the happy medium spec wise?  Is there a certain card I should be looking at for better performance?

     

     

     

  2. So I’m hopefully returning from a FM hiatus since 2017, having played every year since CM 99/00!!

    Kids, life in general happened, they are now out of baby stage and happily sleeping at night, so I find myself with some time as my wife works a few evenings a week.

    My previous laptop is a shocker, it didn’t really cope that well with FM17 so it’s fit for the bin.

    I’m obviously looking for the FM holy grail of a future proof laptop that doesn’t break the bank and can run a reasonable amount of leagues with 3D pitch option.  Who isn’t haha.

    Budget ideally under £500 (or around that figure), now I know that is a really tall order, so I will definitely consider refurbished as to be honest it will be used for FM only alongside general web browsing etc.

    I remember from many years ago of looking on this thread that certain CPU’s were better for FM, e.g with a U at the end??? I may be wrong there but is this still the case?

    Ideally something with a decent processer and dedicated graphics card that will see me good for the next few versions.

    How's that looking?
