Excellent, thanks Smurf much appreciated.

For the price you won't do much better

This has slightly better graphics card but you're not interested in that - the major difference is a 1tb hard drive - so if storage is required for other things etc.

Same as the one above except a step up in the graphics card:

Same as second one but a slightly better processor:

Another one https://www.box.co.uk/30025006-Medion-Erazer-X6805_2431523.html

 

It's up to you - but the first one on the list would do you fine.

 

 

 

Thanks for the help Smurf, will the first one likely also run well on FM 2020 (I'm assuming the specs won't be too different to 2019?)

Hi all,

Sorry to create a new post, and i'll try and provide as much detail as possible.

Trying to get back into Football Manager as it has been a while, (FM15 was my last game) I've always tried to play it on bog standard laptops that can't cope with it.

I have an external monitor at home I use for work when I WFH, so could either go with PC or laptop, would be happy with either, obviously laptop would be better for mobile gaming of it, if I went on holiday etc.

My budget would be around £5-600, could maybe push to 7, but would ideally not want to, Also, if I could get my requirement for cheaper, that would be great. Would be looking at making the purchase in the next month or so, would any major changes to quality happen in this time?

The PC/Laptop would be for playing football manager only, not really a PC gamer (apart from FM).

 

I like to run a fair few leagues;

England (From Prem - League 2)

Scotland (Prem)

Spain (La Liga)

Holland (Eredvisie)

Large database as well as I like to be able to do some proper scouting in my games.

I like the 3D engine, but its not necessary for me (I'm old school so have always seen the 3D engine as a novelty)

I like the game to run quick.

 

Would appreciate any help, as nearly all my laptop purchases to play FM in past have been a disaster and basically based on whatever is on offer at PC world or currys, and I don't want to splash another wedge on a laptop only for it to be rubbish.
