kccircle Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Need a new laptop and have to purchase via Argos due to having a £250GV for there. My budget is c£500 Hope this works with formatting but can anyone suggest any of the below as more outstanding than the others. I added two at the end that are slightly over my budget and would probably result in another couple of weeks saving [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Catalogue Number[/TD] [TD]Make[/TD] [TD]Screen Size[/TD] [TD]Processor[/TD] [TD]Processor Speed[/TD] [TD]RAM[/TD] [TD]Price[/TD] [TD]Graphics[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]CURRENT[/TD] [TD]Acer Aspire 5735Z[/TD] [TD=align: right]15.6[/TD] [TD]Intel Pentium dual core T4200[/TD] [TD]2.00Ghz 800mhz 1MBL2 Cache[/TD] [TD]4GB DDR2 RAM[/TD] [TD]n/a[/TD] [TD]Upto 1244MB Intel[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]508/7176[/TD] [TD]Toshiba 15.6 Inch C660 V4[/TD] [TD=align: right]15.6[/TD] [TD]Intel Core i3 380M[/TD] [TD]2.53GHz processor speed[/TD] [TD]4GB DDR3 RAM[/TD] [TD=align: right]£500[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]508/6689[/TD] [TD]Toshiba Satellite C660[/TD] [TD=align: right]15.6[/TD] [TD]Intel Pentium dual core B940 processor[/TD] [TD]2GHz processor speed[/TD] [TD]4GB DDR3 RAM[/TD] [TD=align: right]£500[/TD] [TD]Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]508/4911[/TD] [TD]Samsung R730 640GB[/TD] [TD=align: right]17.3[/TD] [TD]Intel Core i3[/TD] [TD]2.53GHz processor speed[/TD] [TD]4GB[/TD] [TD]£500 was £600[/TD] [TD]Shared graphics.

darkfng Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Acer Core i7 has the fastest processor speed, I understand this is the major factor in dealing with FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShamanOfFm Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If i was you i would take a jump into cash converters or cash generators usually good laptops in there i got my sony vaio from there and it runs football manager perfectly and only cost me 280 and was in perfect condition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShamanOfFm Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Overall in the argos i would go for this one Acer Core i7 15.6 Intel Core i7 2630QM 2.7GHz processor speed 4GB £500 Intel HD3000 graphics card Pretty nice laptop tbh and would run other games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The i7 2630QM is by far the best. It would be fine for FM 12 But none of them have a decent graphics card. Playing other games requiring lots of graphics would require a decent Graphics Card, which none of them have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccircle Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for the replies - I dont use a laptop for any game other than FM in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShamanOfFm Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The one we recommended is the best go for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccircle Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I know it won't mean much to many but I'm delighted at the 5 stars I have for my game now with the new laptop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
