Here is the laptop: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5163519 Hi, my new laptop had to be returned for repair but still wanting to play FM I used a lenovo 100s to get my fix. Using all standard leagues from England, Scotland and Wales with a large database it worked and so did the 3D match engine although it was on minimal settings. I was pretty surprised that it worked at all to be honest. However as you can imagine processing was slow. Also personally I found the screen too small. I think FM will run in some form on almost anything, I also had it running on a pretty ancient Samsung R519 with a T4300 (?) processor. It all depends on what you deem an acceptable speed. However I can imagine long term saves on either of those machines would be painful for anyone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it run FM well with numerous leagues loaded and have good 3D match engine graphics? This is the laptop I bought. For me it runs FM very well although I only ever really do the UK leagues. It also runs GTAV, Fallout, IL2 etc. I think its great although I never really had a gaming laptop before to compare it too. However it did have an issue and I had to send it back to be repaired after less than a month. You can read some bad stories online about buying with them and repairs and there were times I was wondering if it'd be fixed and I spent ages initially trying to fix it myself. In the end it was ok though and they sent it back fixed no issues after 2 weeks. oh PS, I got my one from them like 2 months ago for £569.

NewGambino Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hi guys, My MacBook Pro MD101 sadly died on me yesterday *RIP*.. So i'm on the lookout for a new laptop for FM use only.. (I've already got a laptop given by my work go get workbased things done). A new MacBook would be lovely.. But i'm not willing to pay that much for a PC/Mac, when it's only purpose is FM.. But it's kinda important that the screen is between 13-14" :-) I found this Dell which i'm really close to ordering.. Because i first off all like the 499 pound pricetag. But features like backlighted keys is also kinda nice to have. Link: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-13-5368-2-in-1-laptop/pd?oc=cn53601&model_id=inspiron-13-5368-2-in-1-laptop The only question is how well the Intel Core i3 6100U will run the game? I compared it to the Intel Core i5 there was in my MacBook and the i3 was a lot better benchmarked. Should I buy??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
