B_Barnes_94 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Is there anybody out there on the forums that has a mini laptop, Because i want to know if it would run and also if it does, does it run well? I want a portable mini laptop to move around anywhere and play fm09:D So please could someone reply if they know anything about it? Many thanks, Bobbie:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mne2 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I doubt it would run well as 'mini laptops' tend to be way under spec of the game although depending on the spec it may well run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a portable mini laptop to move around anywhere and play fm09:D So please could someone reply if they know anything about it? Many thanks, Bobbie:) Most if not all "mini" laptops, have intergrated graphics cards and about 512mb of ram. So as above, it would not work smoothly, if not at all.

Football_Manager08 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ohh:(But thanks anyway probably just get a cheap desktop then... No worries. Remember to get a graphics card (not intergrated on the motherboard) with the computer you will be buying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmyhovel Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Bit of a shame because the thing I used to love about FM was that it required low specs and was low maintenance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you will not be able to do that are they are going to be different formats. You should be able to download an update from a fansite but you will have to start in 2007-08 season.

Perry Neal Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Don't forget that with FM08 you need the CD in the drive, and most mini laptops don't have a CD drive built-in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football_Manager08 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Don't forget that with FM08 you need the CD in the drive, and most mini laptops don't have a CD drive built-in. Yep. You'd need to buy a external cd drive for it too. Which would make it less "portable". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
