Wiggster Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 So i'm going to get Football Manager 2010 for Christmas, but my Uncle said that i'd need a REALLY good laptop to play it on, even though 09 works on my grans and it has higher specs than 10. Coudl anyone recommend any cheaper, but good laptops which FM10 would work on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You wouldn't need an overly expensive laptop just for FM, a £300 quid one would do the job fine. But if you wanted to play games with better graphics, (Crysis etc), Your looking top end stuff £600+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggster Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I don't use the 3D pitch, is that the main thing for the graphics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah, that's the only thing on the game that specifically needs a "good" graphics card. Even a shoddy built in integrated graphics card works fine for FM10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggster Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Guys, would this Laptop play FM10? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Inspiron#Inspiron_1110_.28Inspiron_11z.29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yid Army Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspiron-11z?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&ref=lthp Look on this site, for the options on this lappy. The one on the far left certainley won't work because it is a 1.3 GHz processor, and you need at least 2 GHz. The ones on the middle and right may or may not - It is also 1.3GHz but the fact they are dual core may make up for this, effectively giving you 2.6GHz, but this depend on how well FM can utilize it, so your best off waiting for another awnser on that. With the graphics, you will most likely be forced into playing in 2D mode. The RAM is fine in both. The advantages of the far right machine over the middle are more RAM, so programs will run faster, including FM, and a bigger hard drive, meaning you can save more things, such as games, music, videos etc. to your PC. EDIT: You will also have to use a digital download setrvice as it has no disk drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 if its running Vista or Win 7 then you really want 3gb ram as these operating systems eat RAM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yid Army Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have found 7 miles better than vista on that front tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggster Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, if people can put forward some laptops which will be good and not too expensive then i'll be happy. ;D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Probably best to confirm a budget Wiggster first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggster Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Maximum £400. Mum is a cheapskate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yid Army Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Same as me, actually. I found this: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5082281/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7COffice%252C%2BPCs%2Band%2Bphones%7C14418968/c_2/3%7C15701344%7CLaptops%2Band%2Bmini%2Blaptops%7C14419039/c_3/4%7Ccat_14419039%7CLaptops%7C14419040.htm which is a million times better than your link, that was designed for portability, and any lappy designed for portability is most definatly not made for playing games half-decently. It has a dual-core processor at 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ati radeon 3200 graphics and a 250GB Hard Drive. In comparison to the 400 pound one you bought up earlier, it has a much, much better processor, double the RAM and a graphics card that should run most/all games, albeit on low settings. Don't think thee other graphics card could run anything tbh. The hard drive is still slightly on the small side, but this is the best lappy you are going to get on your budget.
