SW. Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Sorry, I bet people are sick of laptop/computer threads by now but...heres another one Basically, I want a laptop that can play FM for a few years to come and has a big hard-drive, preferably 160GB/200GB+. I don't want a desktop as it will have to be shifted from place to place quite a lot. And I have about £400 to spend, possibly stretching to £500 if an amazing laptop is available Cheers in advance.

ComeontheArsenal Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1525, cost £399.99! 2GB Ram, 240GB HD, ATI Radeon X1270, big screen, Vista, runs FM2009 like a dream. Also runs games like PES 2009 as well, gonna try Left 4 Dead on it soon also. It's only available on the Dell website. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeontheArsenal Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow, that was a bit of a coincidence, at exactly the same time But yeah, take it from me, the Inspiron is awesome for the price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW. Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks, I'll definitely have a go at customising that later. Actually, I think I've found a decent refurbished laptop here: http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2033390435.1227738879@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdgadefkhdmfefcflgceggdhhmdfog.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=606741&category_oid= It is hewlett packard, has a 2 Ghz processor, 3 gig ram, a 160GB HD, a 17" display and a NVIDIA Geforce 7150 graphics card. Is this good enough for FM? It's £369.99 btw. Opinions would be much appreciated before I take the plunge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giarc Ronyag Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Right mate, i got a laptop for £349.99 from staples, it runs football manager like a dream. it's a asus has a intel pentium 2ghz dual core. 128mb gforce graphics card 160gb hd 3gb ram vista home premium and all the bits n bobs u'd expect, also has a built in webcam which is 1.3 mpixels, was a surprise bonus, anyway, it's the best for the price, any other laptop around that spec would cost £400+ and i'd know as i've been looking for about 2 months for one now lol but yeah, runs fm09 perfectly, if you get the dixons one i'd make sure it's a dedicated graphics card, otherwise you might find it doesn't work with the match engine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot. Looks like I'll be getting that one but I think I'll wait until the VAT goes to 15% on Monday, save 8 quid or so . It's a bit worrying how no results appear when you type the laptop's name in on google though :confused: Anyone know why this should be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzell Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Ive just brought this laptop, good price and runs FM perfectly! http://www.simplyacer.com/Acer_Aspire_AS5920G-6A4G25Mi_451244.html Get It! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveduerson Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think I'm going to save my pennies until after Christmas when the second patch comes out and get a Dell. Was going to go for the Inspiron, but it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card apparently, so going to splash out on this Studio one. Hopefully it will last a few years. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop_studio_15?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs Cheers for the advice everyone.

Hi mate. What is the actual model. I am guessing it is some kind of X58L, but then there are several different types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
