ShyBaldBuddhist Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 hey shy... that's not a bad price at all to be fair ... and it's perfect for the general browsing, word processing stuff aswell... and yeah, you'll play fm casually on it easily , it has the HD 3000 integrated graphics on it as well if i remember correctly which should be more than able to handle fm Cheers mate. Thought it looked okay but always like a second opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee_Simpson Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 @ welshace - Hi mate, the LED comes with the case, it's the case that costs an extra 30 quid. I like my PC to look cool lol. I really don't need 1TB HDD tbh either. @ Dooro - Wow the z580 & Acer Aspire v3 you linked are even better than the Acer 5755G linked in this thread (I agree with welshace though, not the first two you linked for FM) and for a decent price too. Can people here in the UK order them for delivery to here? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 awww i saw the price of the packard bell Dooro posted and thought it was amazing.. until i saw that i was looking at wholesale price! still a damn good deal though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanBlackpoolFC Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 My laptop has arrived today so thankyou to everyone who has helped me out over the past couple of weeks. I'll let you know how it runs once I've downloaded FM and a few other things. I was just wondering though, does anyone know how to transfer save games from my old laptop to my new one, because I have a couple of 40+ year saves that I really dont want to lose when I reset my old laptop back to factory settings tonight. An easy step by step would be very helpful as I'm not very good with these things. Thanks again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyBaldBuddhist Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Copy the save onto a USB stick and then move it over into the save game folder on the new install. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooro23 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Just checked, notebooksbilliger.de only sells to business clients elsewhere than Germany & Austria. But Cyberport seems to deliver to the UK until the 1st of December 2012 (then some registration law for businessmen kicks in?). For the i7 fans: with a 710 pound budget: http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebooks/1C31-24T/lenovo-ideapad-y580-m772age---ivy-bridge-i7-3610qm-6gb-500gb-gtx660m-windows-7.html 685 pounds: http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebooks/1C26-8N2/acer-aspire-v3-771g-736b8g50maii-i7-3630qm-full-hd-gt650m-2gb-gaming-hit.html 627 pounds (re-post): http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebooks/1C26-8KD/acer-aspire-v3-571g-73618g75makk-i7-3610qm-ivy-bridge-8gb-gt640m-2gb.html 605 pounds: http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebook-berater/erweiterte-suche/1C28-1G6/asus-k75-a75vj-ty054h-multimedia-notebook-mit-windows-8.html 564 pounds: http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebooks/1C31-253/aktion-lenovo-g580-mbbn4ge---i7-3612qm-4gb-750gb-gt630m-top-leistung.html 524 pounds (delivery time unknown as of now, though): http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebooks/1C36-26T/aktion-toshiba-satellite-l850-1c9-silber-i7-ivy-bridge-plus-4gb-ram-gratis-.html Ordering from UK seems to work, ~17 pounds shipping cost if you pay with credit card / pay pal / bank transfer. Don't wonder why it's only cyberport.de offers, right now that's the only cheap & reputable store shipping abroad that i know. If I've got some time spare I might actually try searching for more. And if those prices are in fact helpful, I'll try to follow this thread regularly to help with ordering/language. yeah... it costs 30 odd quid for delivery though..I've seen it for like 17 pounds, which store do you mean?

Ronaldo Beckham Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hi guys I am looking to spend 250 on a new laptop and I have seen some that people have suggested on here, I basically just want an upgrade from my Acer Aspire 5738 laptop, I have seen this one http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/toshiba-satellite-l755d-10u-15-6-laptop-red-09797910-pdt.html just wondering what people think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooro23 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Then it's just a claim? Dual-core support is only for processing fixtures and the match engine. 64-bit support is something we've been discussing internally but no decision has been made upon it yet, it's obviously not something that can be done easily. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee50_11 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Then it's just a claim?

Welshace Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 the 630m isnt bad.. depending which type you end up with tbh... and yeah... an i5 or above is what to aim for... but the i3 isn't bad for those on a budget and only using the laptop for general use and casual fm play. as far as 3d is concerned... get a dedicated graphics card with your laptop and you'll be fine... if not , get an i5 and you'll be fine with the integrated chip for running 3d in fm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooro23 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Don't mind the language barrier, that shouldn't be a problem.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have a good house mate who is selling me his Dell Vostro 1310 laptop on the cheap, here is the full specs, can you guys tell me how well it will run FM2013 Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (2.1GHz) Memory: 2GB - 2 DIMM (DDR2-667) (4GB max) HDD: 160GB 5400RPM HDD - He has put a new 300gb hard drive in there.

Smurf Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 That will run FM13 - but I wouldn't expect anything amazing performance wise, or with 3D graphics.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 But I am only going to be paying like 50 quid for this laptop, Eugene is any of these laptops less then 250 pound cos that is all I have to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
