TaxpayersMoney Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 My current laptop (which runs FM12 3d graphics on low detail. Played FM11 on small database, with just one league because I had 1 star for performance): Base Inspiron 1545 (UK, QS01) - T3000 (1.80GHz, 800MHz, 1MB cache) Memory 4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048] Video Card Intel Integrated GMA 4500MHD Hard Drive 320GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive Microsoft Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 (64 BIT) Processor Intel® Celeron Dual Core T3000 (1.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 Cache) A potential replacement: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004TQQFJG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shwan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 only faster but still you don't have real video card .. try to buy real cards to play proper 3D games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart91 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If you are like myself and only play Fm i would recommend a Dell inspiron 15r. Intel core i3 2.53GHz, 4096MB ram.It has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650. Far from being a gaming machine but for me works great for FM11 and flawless for 3d ME on FM12 demo, very smooth. Also tried Fifa 12 also worked flawlessly with no problem, at the same time I think games like GTA IV are out of reach for this machine. Check it out on Dell's website roundabout the same price. Anyway just a suggestion:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 the difference would be huge... and graphics card isnt a big problem... most cards can breeze through fm easily the potential buy is better than the one stewet suggested too.. but just so you can have an idea... here's pretty much the exact same lappy for cheaper http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Lenovo_Ideapad_B570_-_i5__Windows_7_Laptop_M58E7UK/version.asp hunt around fella.. loads of quality deals around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 DONT buy a laptop without decent graphic card. you will regret it. Stay away from any laptop with Intel graphics chip. Must be ATI or Nvidia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossArsenal Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I took on a Sunday job and didnt spend anything i got from that and Put it all into this bad boy http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Notebook-i7-2630QM-NVIDIA-GeForce/dp/B005EHFB4O%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJASE6HSSVXTNREYQ%26tag%3Dsmarterfox-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB005EHFB4O?afsrc=fstfx I recomend not to jump the gun and get something thats going to do just a little more then your current computer, save up and get something alot better I didnt pay £1100 mine was only £850 from PC world and im very happy. Runs Fm like a dream. Currently saving up for a Solid State HD as Fm is fantastic if run from a Solid state HD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
