[FM24 - PC/Laptop advice thread *** PLEASE READ OPENING POST BEFORE POSTING ***]

Looking for some advice please, due to work I will be travelling to China extensively over the next few months. We're restricted from taking any devices with work information on so FM24 on my Macbook can't come with me (and I dont have another option). I'll be spending a lot of time on flights and in hotel rooms so keen to take FM along.

Planning to buy a second hand laptop that I will use exclusively for FM on these trips. Some points that might help:

I only play with 2D match engine. This laptop won't have anything else on it apart from Steam and FM. 

I've been looking at the £300 refurbished mark for i7, 8GB RAM and most have Intel UHD Graphics 650, will that be ok for 2D with c.50k player database?

Any other options / anything else I need to consider?

Thanks!

Apologies if this has already been raised / covered, but I'm seeing some seemingly unrealistic expectations in League Two.

It may be correct (and a result of over ambitious Chairmen), but its significantly different to the Beta.

Not an exhaustive list, but the ones I've checked (media prediction - first season expectations - second season expectations):

Stevenage - 16th - top half finish - automatic promotion

Cambridge - 17th - top half finish - automatic promotion

Morecambe - 22nd - avoid relegation - automatic promotion

In fact, all of the 'bottom half' with the exception of three clubs expect to at least make the playoffs in season two.

Feels a little odd and over-ambitious?
