Robsabbaggio Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 My current laptop is on its last legs, and am so looking for an upgrade. This is not all bad, as my current laptop couldnt handle FM2009 and I've been playing FM2007 for ages now But given some of the technical issues people on this forum seem to have experienced with running FM2009, I wanted to make sure I buy a new laptop that can handle it. So could anyone who has these or know something about specs let me know whether either of these machines can play it?

Ediocy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Out of the two laptops you have posted, HP G60-216EM Notebook PC (NF270EA) would be the better choice in terms of running the game in 3D due to the presence of a non-integrated graphics card. Its processor is also better. I guess the only trade-off is that the screen is smaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsabbaggio Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks mate I do like HP laptops, but if anyone has any recommendations for good machines around £500, they would be very appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
