Okay , 

I am looking to finally purchase a new laptop this weekend. I was previously leaning towards the lenovo L340 but have now ruled this out. 

Was thinking this as it has been recommended on here at £650

however, 
I have saw this too at £650

And then this which is a bit cheaper at £530

Which is the better purchase?

Out of interest what makes it the better laptop between the 2. 

I was just about to buy the lenovo of Argos, but may get this instead.

Ryzen 5 isn't a requirement - they just currently seem to offer a good balance of price and performance. 

Also, 8GB isn't strictly a requirement, but is definitely an ideal starting point. But, if your budget is limited and there are only machines with 4GB RAM, then this will still be able to run FM. 

The one you've linked will certainly run FM. I would however recommend a 4th gen Ryzen over a 3rd gen like this one, as there is a considerable jump in performance. 

This is one I've linked a few times.  The points to bear in mind are that the storage is smaller and it's a 14" model rather than a 15.6".

Thanks 

I just assumed Ryzen 7 was more advanced than ryzen 5. I never actually realised the other details. 

I probably have a budget of around £650 

So still looking around. My main reason for a new laptop is just for FM21 which seems mental that i am about to fork out £700 for a computer game lol 

I saw the lenovo l340 mentioned quite a few times, would that be a good choice or is there better for that value.

thanks a lot for the response.

I do not have any knowledge on laptops but having read this thread it would seem a minimum of £500 to play the game at a decent level. 

I think 8gb ram and ryzen 5 seems to be one of the requirements. 

Thoughts on this?

Also out of interest, one of the laptops around £500 suggested to people. How many leagues does that roughly allow you to play with at a decent speed. 

I havent played FM for a number of years, but bought FM21 but my laptop cant cope.
