PrinceEgypt Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Hi Guys Looking for a laptop for FM22 (and for basic work i.e. emails, using MS Office, Word Excel etc) Most important for me is highest graphics to watch the 3D match engine in best possible highest quality. I have used an old HP pavilion up until now still in a career on FM20 and never experienced the full 3d match engine capabilities of the game Budget is up to £1000. Could someone please advise?

You may have to turn the graphics settings down from the highest, but the iGPU with that it should handle the 3D graphics in FM at medium to high settings.

MShing Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hi guys. Looking for a new laptop to mainly run fm22 on. Looking at around £600-£650 or cheaper if a better model. Not too bothered about the best graphics, I play using dots anyway. My current laptop is not the fastest with running 5 leagues with about 20k players database which usually give 1 or 2 star for processing speed on the league choice menu page. Any improvement on this will be a bonus. I have found these so far which would be the best or do you know of any better options? https://www.box.co.uk/81Y6005SUK-Lenovo-Legion-5i-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RAM-5_2938435.html https://www.box.co.uk/82B50042UK-Lenovo-Legion-5-15-AMD-Ryzen-5-8GB-RAM-2_2938438.html https://www.box.co.uk/82AU0047UK-Lenovo-Legion-5-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RAM-51_2943311.html https://www.box.co.uk/9S7-16R612-496-MSI-GF63-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RAM-512GB-SSD_4103725.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinho7 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I’ve always been carefull when setting up my save in terms of leagues loaded because i was afraid it would slow down my game much. But it’s actually pretty mad how my budget laptop cuts like a knife through butter handling my 30 leagues loaded 100k player database. It simmed a full season in around an hour and a half. Very pleased with this. I think that max boost clock up till 4.0ghz comes in pretty handy when processing match days and transfer windows tho Edited June 9, 2022 by Kevinho7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah the term budget comes from the fact it costed me 600 half a year ago, so it’s a pretty relative term. I guess the specs are fairly decent for playing a well balanced and immersive savegame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there could be all manner of things which affect the battery life - including battery capacity. Spec wise, both laptops are effectively identical.

LukeDC Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Hi there, So glad for this forum! I currently have a i5 8th gen (UHD graphic) and while it runs pretty well, the 3d match engine is fairly poor (1* rating) I'm looking at a upgrade, medium settings 3D would be great, kinda wondering what the star rating would be with a ...

Thanks so much, Luke It's a decent CPU, would be a definite upgrade on an 8th gen i5 and will manage medium on the 3D match graphics with ease.

Colorado Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'm looking for a desktop that can comfortably run FM with several leagues/100,000 plus db and for general office based work use. Ideally I want something quick that is going to last me a good few years. My budget is around 2k. Is this possible? If you don't know of anything to hand, would you be able to give me some specific pointers as to what spec I would be needing? Ideally, I don't want a gaming style tower with flash lights etc but something more professional. Any help much appreciated. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about the best CPU you can currently get, excellent graphics card in case you want to look at other games aside from FM. You could save a bit of money by going for a lower spec graphics card though, as this is absolute overkill on that front purely for FM: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-z690-pc/qYJ9uwPpgk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimu45 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new laptop as my old dell is really struggling to play fm22. I have a budget of £800 and would like a laptop that can handle quite a few leagues and some longer term saves. If it can handle the 3d match engine that would be a nice bonus but of not then I am fine with sticking to the 2d. I'm in England if they helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, everything you have selected there will work fine (fans etc) ? I might take a plunge on this, is this cheaper than buying a 'pre-designed' (I don't know the correct term!) desktop PC that you'd see in online stores? I know very little about this stuff, hence the questions! Cheers again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the PC's I can find with that CPU are over £2,500, but they do tend to include the RTX 3080 or 3090 graphics card and 32GB RAM, so the spec is a bit higher. The fan selected in the build is rated for the power of the CPU - the PC specialist building tool is really good as it tells you if the fans selected are not suitable for the CPU, or if there's any other issue with compatibility between any of the components selected. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd snap that up for that price especially given it's got a discount on it at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickeyR Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I'm looking for a laptop to play FM and for general work (Excel mostly, Zoom), hoping not to spend more than about £400.

It's running on integrated graphics, but if you don't mind the 3D settings being put down a notch it'll be fine. If you want to play other modern games, you'll probably need to look at spending a bit more to get one with a dedicated graphics card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDanny83 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Im looking for a laptop to do general work and am wanting to also play fm on it. These are some that I have seen that I think look quite good Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T Laptop, Intel Core i5 Processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14" Full HD, Safari Gold (johnlewis.com) Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T 14 inch Laptop - (Intel Core i7-1165G7, 8GB, 512GB SSD, Full HD Touchscreen Display, Windows 10, Racing Green) : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14" WQXGA+, Storm Grey (johnlewis.com) HP Pavilion Aero 13-be0030na Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 Processor, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, 13.3" WQXGA, Ceramic White (johnlewis.com) If anyone could say which one of these is the best or any other laptops for around £800 would be much appreciated.
