If you have basic knowledge of computers and brands you can get second-hand laptops to run Football Manager for around £50-£100 and in today's world the thought of paying £100 every year for the next 3 years or more is far better than paying £500 for a new item. My own latest purchase is an HP Envy dv6-7200sa. This thing has a fast CPU and 2 GB video card. Manufactured in 2013 it's more than ten years old but lucky for me it had been well looked after. If cost £54 plus £6 postage. 

So what I'm saying is look after your money here. When buying second hand laptop always research for faults that are common on the model or brand. For example, Dell is great but their power adapters give a lot of problems and also the sockets they push into are also troublesome. Although easy to find parts expect to buy them often. My partner paid £1700 for an XPS and within 4 years I had to replace 3 sockets, 2 batteries, and no less than 4 power adaptors. Where as my son at the same time went for cheap but powerful MSI for £900 and the only thing that let him down were the plastics. We managed to replace the whole case of that for £100. 

if you are looking for a secondhand laptop feel free to run any links past me and I'll be happy to offer my advice on my experience. I've worked in IT for a very long time and built systems, servers, etc for a living before retiring.

Would either of the following two laptops work for FM24?

Lenovo G560

Dell Latitude E5440

Both in good condition.

Not bothered about watching games maybe the odd replay, would like to run as many of the major leagues as possible. I know the two laptops are old but they are from a family member. I'm not a tech guy at all so any help would be welcome.

Thanks
