First 2 are almost identical except the hard drive is bigger on the first one - but for saving 90 quid the 256gb model would be sufficient if you're not planning on putting much else on the computer except FM.
The last one - the processor is a bit better, it has a higher TDP meaning it can heat up a bit more than the others without throttling - and I mean a bit - not a lot!!!
The big difference in the price there is the graphics card - which is a decent mid range.
Where are you buying from? And what is you absolute max budget?
Smurf,
that Dell is pretty much at the limit of what i'd be comfortable spending - please note it's in Euro, so that's ~520 quid. i'm based in Poland, so i thought i'd skip links to the stores - here's the link to this one tho: https://www.euro.com.pl/laptopy-i-netbooki/dell-laptop-5490-r5-8gb-512ssd-w10-sil.bhtml?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjuq-yJyz6QIVD5IYCh1OLQ1XEAQYASABEgIRdfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
i think i assume Dells to be quite reliable, but then again i'm a tad worried about the size vs. heat management thing.
the Asus TUF - i think that makes little sense apart from having the possibilities that i prolly won't use - bought PS4 Pro less than a year ago to have other gaming covered so i should scrap that idea methinks, especially with PS5 on the horizon.

Honestly for FM - either is fine and about the same.
I hear the AMD has a good built in GPU so if that's important go with that.
Techincally the i5 is slightly better overall processor, but does't necessarily mean it's right for FM - as FM is a processor intensive game.
My gut says the AMD is slightly better for FM with a 2.1ghz base speed and a slightly better built in GPU.
But again, I have no way of testing, just my generaly observance.
sure Smurf, the gut feeling is all i can look for at this stage :).
soooo, i seem to be narrowing my uber small budget options down to these ones below - is the experience of playing FM20 on a 14'' much worse in terms of too much data on too small a screen? i actually find the idea of a smaller laptop more appealing (i will be travelling a bit with it when and if the world returns to the normal(ish)), but not sure how that works with FM20 and the amount of info it displays.
and is there a downside from the perspective of heat management?
also, any reason for the Asus being so cheapish? i seem to recollect them being a fairly solid laptop producer, but that was a good couple of years ago. is this due to poor display maybe, or poor battery?

A dedicated card would be helpful - but it's still an entry level graphics card - so you're still at mid range graphics.
Again - I can't tell you if you will need to make a cuppa when you hit continue. Put into perspective. I can make a cuppa between hitting continue, but my kettle boils in 2 seconds as I have a fast boil kettly - however, yours may take 60 seconds to boil.
hiya Smurf,
my kettle feels offended!
seriously tho, appreciate your patience.
been reading through the thread a bit more, https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html#laptop-thread is just such a good catch.
seems i'm revolving around systems that use either i5-1035G1 or Ryzen 5 3500U. Now, according to the data, the i5 is stronger on all fronts, including a 380 difference in single thread rating.
on the other hand, i'm hearing since the i5 has the basic clockspeed of 1.0 GHz only, it's liable to throttling and i'm especially worried it might be straining during longer FM sessions or over a longer period of time in general. i also hear the Ryzens have splendid, all things considered, integrated graphics that could run the 3D engine at high even.
am i thinking right that it would be more reasonable to look at the Ryzen-based laptops? for some strange reason i thought FM prefers Intels to AMDs.
cheers,
t.

All computers can do this in points 1 and 2 - there's just no way to know for sure what speed it will run at - I might be happy with a speed progression of 10 minutes per week, but you might think that's too slow.
As always, you'll need to tweak your setup until you're happy with how well it progresses for you.In point 3 - it can handle it, but more towards the mid side of things.
hey Smurf,
thanks for a quick response!
i'm struggling to find a point of reference since the last FM i played was FM12 i think :).
i understand perfectly well FM20 would not be processing at the speed of light on such a machine - but then again if i were to go make myself a cuppa every time i hit 'Continue', i need to reconsider, hence the question :).
regarding long-term saves, i was worried about memory issues on such a machine given growth of data to process over time? especially that i heard integrated graphics make use of machine's RAM, so would effectively reduce the available number of resources?
regarding the 3D - would bumping to, say, GeForce MX230 with 2 GB enable smooth watching on high? is the difference even worth it?
thanks a lot!

Hi folks!
Looking for an extra budget laptop. Anyone has experience playing FM20 on Dell 3593 or similar (i5 10gen 1035G1, 1,0 - 3,6 GHz, integrated Intel UHD G1, 8GB RAM)?
- Can the laptop behave respectably processing setup of all English leagues and between 0-4 other leagues on medium DB?
- Can it handle 30+ seasons save on such setup?
- Can it handle 3D engine on medium to high?
Any insights much appreciated, ta!

Thanks ss03! Non-lite M5 was my first thought too, but given that Lite version is considerably cheaper and I don't really need a powerful tablet as long as it'd run FMT 20, I kinda hoped someone would be able to doublecheck on M5 Lite. Seems this community is not that much into tablets!

Hi,
Up with the thread! Really looking for help Folks, christmas are coming and I'd love to know which tablet to buy to make sure that in my own personal universe Arsenal are not as bad as in the real one.

Hi,
Up with the thread - here's to hoping someone has either of these tablets and, at minimum, could check if FMT 20 can be downloaded from Google store?

Hi,
Was looking for a thread on devices compatible with FMT 20 but only found the list with no place for follow up questions.
I got three of these, care to help?
1) Is FMT 20 really not compatible with Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite or Lenovo TAB M10?
2) Are there notable differences in performance when playing on tablets with 3 GB RAM?
3) Are there notable differences in performance when playing on tablets with older processors (e.g. Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 or HiSilicon Kirin 710 - both 8-core)?
Thanks a bunch!

Smurf,
it must have been absolute nightmare for you to navigate that site, kudos!
it'd be very nice - but it's a version without OS and i need the system too. with Win10, it goes up to ~610 quid.
i'll keep looking, maybe some deal will pop up in the meantime - i'm getting more confident that i'm looking in the right direction - thanks for that!
gonna check for some reviews of that Dell, regarding the heat management. tho if that cheaper Asus also does the job, i gotta give it a serious think, too.
