serc0 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm planning on buying a new netbook for school/work. I'm wondering if anyone has a machine with similar specs that has any experience playing fm12. HP dm1z Win 7 home 64bit AMD Dual-Core Processor E-450(1.65GHz, 1MB L2 Cache) + AMD Radeon HD 6320M Discrete-Class Graphics 8gb 1333mhz ddr3 ram 11.6in display (1366x768) I will most likely put a SSD in it as well. Not that worried if it doesn't work, but I was thinking that fm12 is a perfect game for class and boring nights at work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucasa Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 FM needs good CPU and that E-450 will barely cut it. But should be good for one nation and one league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Have you actually found a netbook with those specs because...they're very random. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
serc0 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes, that is an hp dm1z. Its one of the better ones I have found in the price range as well. I was thinking the cpu probably wasnt fast enough, oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

0gris Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Those are by far one of the most random specifications i have ever seen. 8 gigs of ram which you'll never use. A horrible processor and a mid range netbook graphics card. And you're planning to put an SSD in. My brain is about to cramp, it's just so ridiculous it makes no sense, at all, whatsoever. None. Personal suggestion; If you can the Lenovo ThinkPad series are fairly decent when it comes to specifications(and most of them don't have membrane keyboards which is IMO very imporant if you plan on using them to type anything whatsoever).

serc0 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes, I work and go to school. Government pays for my school and gives me a housing allowance, by working as well I have a lot more money for things like ridiculous netbooks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
serc0 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Not sure why you wouldn't put an SSD in it, they are only a couple hundred dollars. I suppose I could just get another laptop and call it a day. I just really like how long the battery life is on netbooks. My asus eee-pc has a 10 hour battery life, but I'm giving it up to my wife so I figure I would get another netbook. I don't particularly feel like taking a full size laptop to class, and I certainly wouldn't take it to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor13 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Like alucasa said, that CPU should be able to handle a (very) small database. Just remember that you'll also most likely need to wait for someone to make a netbook skin for FM12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I dread to think how much putting an SSD in a netbook would cost. Portable computer specifications are a joke these days. Someone posted one the other day that had a 1600x900 resolution but came with a blu ray drive! They're just putting gimmicks in so they can sell poor models for a lot of money. It's not really right.
