My mate is looking to buy the cheapest possible lapyop that will run FM fine with around 5-7 leagues. 

 

Can anyone suggest one please? 

We don't comment on how many leagues a computer will run, as how acceptable the speed is would be entirely subjective.  Most currently available laptops will run the game, it's just a matter of the speed.

The cheapest brand new one I can find I'd consider any way worth recommending is this one: https://www.box.co.uk/AVITA-LIBER-NS14A8UKV542-MB-Avita-Liber-V-14-Pro-Ryzen-5-8GB-RAM-256_3355367.html

Or, if he's happy to go for a refurbished model, this one: https://www.laptopstation.co.uk/laptops/lenovo-ideapad-3i-14-i3-8gb-128gb-laptop/

If he's happy to spend a little bit more, this one is a significant upgrade on both,  It is another refurbished one: https://www.laptopstation.co.uk/laptops/acer-travelmate-p2-i5-8gb-256gb-10-pro-15-6-laptop/, or the same spec brand new: https://www.box.co.uk/82KB00N2UK-Lenovo-V15-G2-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RAM-256G_3855613.html

That suggests there is a definite improvement from the M1 to the M2, but the difference is not massive.

Worth the extra £300 I'd be paying for the M2? I know there's moderate differences between graphic capabalitiy too to factor in

It's difficult to quantify how much of a difference the extra power of the M2 will make as it's not a huge difference based on these benchmarks, and as far as I know the integrated GPUs in both chips are very similar.

It really comes down to whether you can afford the extra £300 - if you can, then go for it as there is a definite difference between the two.  If you're anyway close to being on the fence over the extra cost then I'd suggest sticking with the cheaper M1.

Hi, wasnt sure where best to ask so might aswell ask here.

Currently have a HP EliteBook

Spec is 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz

8GB RAM

Windows 10

I use it solely for FM and coding via Python, but its begun to struggle.

Is it possible, or even worth it, to get an upgrade for under £600?

If you can afford it then get it.

If you can't then mostly any modern Mac for the price point can play FM with no problem at all.

Brill, thanks for the answer. Not very knowledgeable about computer specs so thought it was worth getting a second opinion.

I know this is £100 more, but this has been mentioned in the thread a couple of times. Would this Huawei Matebook 16 be much better than the Asus Vivabook 16x I initially mentioned?

Looking at this laptop myself, just one question the graphics card is it a good one or would you say it’s weak?

it only has the integrated GPU, which is fine for FM at medium to high settings.

If you're also looking at other modern games, then I'd suggest something with a dedicated graphics card.

Something like this, which is priced similarly: https://www.box.co.uk/FA506IC-HN011W-ASUS-TUF-Gaming-A15-AMD-Ryzen-7-8GB-RAM-_3952772.html

If you're looking for a non-gaming laptop, then the Huawei one you linked would be absolutely fine.  It's about as good as you'll get in terms of graphical power without having a dedicated graphics card.

....and based on the context of my experience with my previous 2019 MacBook Pro with Intel i7 to the experience I then described of the MacBook Air with M2, how is that not a 'game changer' for me?  It is night and day. Total game changer - I get to play without fan noise or hot aluminium burning my lap.

"With my last MacBook, (16" Pro 2019, i7, 16G RAM) playing FM 22 the thing would get so hot and the fans kicked in so bad that it ruined the experience. Not great for a £2,500 laptop. (see my point about PCs being historically better for gaming). It would also drain the battery in about an hour. I ended using a much cheaper Dell laptop to play FM, which while it still got warm and noisy it was more bearable. The Pro was good for other stuff but for FM or any demanding games it stank the place out.

Seriously the 'apple silicon' chips are a game changer. This thing lasts forever on one charge even when you push it hard. To fit so much power into such a thin and light form factor is a great feat of engineering. No fan noise (obviously), no heat, no lag, super quick, smooth as butter graphics"

[DJ Sir Matthew]

It's that time of the year again where I can spent my end year bonus on multimedia and I'm looking for a new laptop which gives me the most oomph for FM. I looked in @Brother Ben's benchmark spreadsheet but didn't find too many recent laptop results (sorry Ben, still need to run the benchmark on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro too, will do it this weekend). So what are my (possible as it depends on available budget which I should know tomorrow) options (links are in Dutch because it concerns Belgian models but it's the most comprehensive list of specs with all details, you should be able to find the relevant info):

https://www.acer.com/ac/nl/BE/content/predator-model/NH.QB6EH.005 with Intel i9-11900H, 16 Gb DDR (? MT/s) with RTX 3060 and 6Gb on board (TGP: 130W)

Also, if anyone knows of new models coming out in the following 2 weeks that might supersede these mentioned above, please do. It seems the catalogue only has old Lenovo Legion's for example.

Looking at the site https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html?

Not sure why the Ryzen 9 6900HX is ranked above the i7-12700H as to my eye the i7 beats its scores in almost everything.  Based on these, I'd go for the model with that: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1786194/asus-tuf-gaming-f15-fx507zm-hf018w-azerty-toetsenbord/specificaties/

I don't forsee there being any new releases to supersede these very soon, the 12th gen Intel Core CPU's and 6th gen Ryzens are already pretty new to the market.

Bit of a different question for you.

I understand that Gaming Desktops are somewhat cheaper than Gaming Laptops, which can then be used to stream the game to any other laptop.

Does anyone have experience of using this with FM and with what results?

Cheers

Funnily enough, I've done this myself using the Steam remote play function - obviously means both devices need to be on and connected to the internet.

As long as the internet connection is strong, I find it works fine for FM.  You can get some pixelating on the device that it's being streamed to when the network speed drops, but overall I found it to be absolutely fine.

However, going back to the first point at the moment there's actually generally cheaper deals on laptops than there are desktop, although if choosing a laptop that does basically restrict what can be done in terms of upgrades down the line where as having a desktop does give plenty of flexibility should you want to upgrade at some point later.

Thx. Do you think the leap from the current Ryzen 7 5800H to a i7-12700H or Ryzen 9 6900HX or even the Ryzen 7 6800H is that big? I ask because the Ryzen 7 6800H comes with an RTX 3070 as well as the Ryzen 9 6900HX (but this one is 500€ more expensive) while the i7-12700H comes with a RTX 3060 (approx same price as the Ryzen 7 6800H)

So I' m going I'm going to get a new PC for my new house seeing as there is this guy who works at a computer shop near my mum's and we're going on Tuesday to purchase one, I was thinking a custom made one what would you consider a minimum graphics, ram etc so it's smooth as anything and plays a few leagues at a time also my budget is around £900

[thefmveteran86]

Also I don't know s*** about custom pc's I've always had pre-built so can these be changed anytime there is a new graphics card or processor or keep the same graphics card if the pc get's old like 5-10 years on?

I'm not interested in this debate. You have your opinon - I have the facts.

Fact is, people come here with a budget in mind 200, 300, 500, 900 or something along those lines. Not many people come with a budget in excess of 1.5k - and if they do I have no problem recommending a Mac to them. 

Any computer in that price range will run FM. 

The point of this thread is to help people buy the best computer for them within their budget. And most of the time that budget is not going to be enough for an expensive mid-range Mac. 

If you want to spout on about how great Apple are and bleat on like an iSheep then do it somewhere else. 

Most people here don't have the budget. If they do, I recommend the Mac or a better PC for cheaper.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

I'm looking for a laptop ideally from Curry’s. it would mainly be used for FM23, aswell as things like general browsing, YouTube etc.

Budget would be probably like under 500/600 if possible, from what I’ve read I’d like the following with it. 16GB Ram, SSD. I’m hoping to run games in 3D smoothly also if possible.

if not to much to ask for could I get recommended maybe like 3 possible laptops.

 

if you need more information from me then let me know 😊

Pre-built PC's can usually be upgraded if you want to add RAM, change the graphics card etc.  

For a graphics card upgrade, the main things you'd need to check would be that the existing power supply is sufficient for it and that the case is large enough for the new card.

When it comes to upgrading the CPU, you'd need to check that the existing motherboard is compatible with the new CPU and if it isn't you'd need to buy a new motherboard as well.

The cheapest laptop with 16GB RAM from Currys is £699, so outside of the budget you've stated.

Best one I can see from there at under £500 is this one: https://www.box.co.uk/Cube-Epic_4134491.html?config=2336001,3570391,3617792,3934089,4086959

That'll be fine for 3D at medium to high settings.

If you're happy to shop elsewhere, this is an excellent deal and has 16GB RAM: https://www.box.co.uk/S413EA-AM1887W-ASUS-VivoBook-14-Intel-Core-i5-16GB-RAM-_4089273.html

This thread is a help thread to recommend machines that will match the budget of the users asking for help.  It is also about opinions and consequently there will be differing opinions and that is perfectly acceptable.  There is, however, no need to make differences of opinion into personal insults, so please can everyone bear that in mind from here.

Honestly, it's not vital for FM and general usage.

From Currys, the one I'd recommend within your budget is the one I previously posted.

I asked for some advice earlier, but now I just got curious about the Asus Rog Flow:

https://rog.asus.com/no/compareresult?productline=laptops&webpathname=GZ301ZE-LD183W,GZ301ZC-LD110W&id=143395,147791

I know the specs are quite amazing, but I have never used a 2 in 1 laptop before. Would that work with FM? BTW the on with the i9 processor is not on the market were I live, so I get a discount if I pre-order. Even cheaper than the one with the i7 processor. Still I'm not sure this is the way to go. Any thoughts?

If you're purely comparing between those two, then go for the i9 model especially if it's cheaper.  As far as I know you should have no issues with the touchscreen with FM.

Hey I'm looking for some advice on a new laptop as my current one is 8+ years and struggling. I'm looking to have half a dozen leagues active and a large database, with matches in 3D at the top end settings and delving into deep long term saves. Laptop only needed for FM. Budget would be around 800/850 but I came across this one, would it tick all the FM boxes I'm looking for?

Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It would, but spending at that sort of level I'd look for a 16GB RAM model.  This one would be a good choice: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/hp-victus-16e0511na-16.1-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-rtx-3060-512-gb-ssd-10225999.html

EDIT: Just seen that one is actually out of stock.  I'll look around for some other choices.

EDIT 2: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2002491?clickPR=plp:1:33 - that one has 16GB and the newer generation i5.

Thanks so much for your help, I'd be at a total loss without your input. Thanks again!

Not really a pc specs question but I've got a monitor but it's broken but my mum's got a Dell 19" laptop would it work until I can get myself a new monitor unless I can find myself a monitor for free where I live?

Are you asking if a laptop can be used as a monitor?

If it's a monitor, then yeah it should work as long as it is working condition has the same video connections as your PC.

Use a HD tv. I hav  in th  past.

Budget - Around £1300 Max ideally.

Desktop highly preferably no need for monitor.

Looking to run Large db with all major South American players loaded would like to go as high as 12 countries with top 2-3 divisions in each but all of SCO, ENG. Something that could handle extreme long term play in a save.

 

Currently PC Specs -

Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz   3.40 GHz

RAM - 16GB

Graphic card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

So overall - the Graphics would need an upgrade but with the PC itself nearly 10 years old i feel its best for a new system so any advice is appreciated. 

More so with FM22, the computer would tend to freeze during processing, so if I had music on etc it would just run silent during these spikes as would say OBS if i was streaming FM.

 

Other interests - I mostly play simulation games, so processing power would be preference however I feel if I am going for a big upgrade in system then a fairly decentish graphics card would be preferable. Something that would perform well for a while. 

Cheers!
