The CPU is more important for FM and 8GB RAM is plenty for FM as things stand.

That said, the i5 in the other one is still excellent so if you prefer to go for the machine with more RAM you'd still be getting an excellent laptop.

Hi Kev,

They’ve both gone up by £80-100 before I bought it, doh 

 

I really like the look of the MSI’s do you have any recommendation and a decent deal on them? (Even if I have no knowledge of it being £100 cheaper a week ago, typical Yorkshireman!) 

 

thanks again,

Thanks @kevhamster, much appreciated.

Before I buy I noticed you saying to another user that this was particularly good too. The processor is i7 (other i5) but RAM is 8gb rather than 16gb. Wondered which mattered more/would be better. 

Cheers,

Hi All,

firstly thanks for doing this, I got my Dell inspiron 5 years ago from this thread and it’s been a noble steed but it’s beginning to show its age. it was a great recommendation. 
 

I play fm approx 1000 hours a year online with my friends, I do the odd bit of work (as a teacher) on there but other than that it’s used pretty much exclusively for fm. I want it to run as quick as possible, 5 to 6 leagues is the normal amount we run with online, I know how slow online can be running with 4 laptops so the best it can be and I’d be happy to take the brunt of the processing power to help run the file.  
 

my budget is anything up to £1000, im happy to spend to that if the laptop really is the step above the others. Though if you think a £600-£800 could do just as good job when im exclusively playing fm and don’t need other gaming capabilities then I’ll leave that to you. 
I would be taking a wild stab in the dark posting any laptops so please send any recommendations you have

thanks again and happy new year!
