The Lenovo has a CPU which is a fair bit stronger, but the Acer has the marginally better graphics card.
I'd still go with the Lenovo.
Done! thanks for your assistance

There's no easy answer to the Intel/AMD, Radeon/Nvidia question as there are so many different options and all manufacturers have some strong and some weak options.
This is a good all-rounder in terms of value for money - excellent CPU, graphics card is plenty strong enough and 512GB storage. https://www.box.co.uk/82K200C2UK-Lenovo-ideaPad-Gaming-3-AMD-Ryzen-5-8GB-_3638079.html
Thanks for last weeks reply.
How does that compare with this one?

Kevhamster/Smurf,
What a thread! Information overload!!
Looking for new laptop advice obviously, current one is 4-5 yeaars old, so a bit out of the loop with regards to the latest technology. What's the preferences these days, Intel or AMD? Raedon or Nvidia? Assume SSD over HDD. I'm old school, still got 160gb of music files, so assume I'd need a 512Gb drive over 256?
Budget: was thinking £600, but after reading here and doing some research, more likely to be £800?
Uses: Email, surfing, MS Office, FM (2 or 3 leagues), and if i can get back into it, Cities Skylines.
Preferences: Always bought HP (but not cast on stone), numeric keypad (just habit but gives larger screen), and looking at the weight of some of these gaming laptops, under 2kg.
There's a Currys in town, and Argos, but nearest John Lewis is now 2-3 hours away
Thanks in advance for any pointers you can provide.

What better way to spend a Sunday than to uninstall and reinstall FM21.
Loaded save file into new installation, news, 'discuss issue with players', crash.

Have also uploaded crash dump, '8f87257d-2a97-4e06-9960-161bc0508299'

3 seasons into save, just reached the boring bit before Qatar 2022.
No issues til tonight, game crashed when I clicked 'discuss issue with players' after a news item telling me Ben Chilwell got upset about something. Reloaded, same result. Reloded, removed Rensie's skin, same issue. Reloaded, clicked continue rather than 'discuss', all good. A few clicks later another issue to deal with, clicked discuss with players, game crashed.
Have uploaded 'Stan de Vree - Chelsea.fm' to your cloud service for review and suggestions. Load the game, go to news, it's the first item.
Assume game is at latest rev, playing via Steam. Rather lengthy Windows update yesterday, maybe I'm clutching at straws.

Go find Bophonet's blog. He covered Tuchel's tactics for FM17. Although it's in italian, there are ways of translating.
I only started a Chelsea save file when he got the Chelsesa job, 1st season finished 2nd on 81 points, this season i'm top with 7 to play.
Unsure whether it's still relevant to his current style of play, but one of the tactics discussed there is close to the first screenshot you posted of your tactic above, with two defensive wingers.

End of season 21/22 update
10th in league, 2pts off euro spot, got to FA Cup semi-final
Quite a turnround of players. Of the original squad, Grant again top scorer, 15 goals from 19 starts, Diangana and Periera still first choice left and right AM, Sam Johnstone came on leaps and bounds with a decent defence in front of him. Sam Field confuses me, fabulous trainer but attributes fairly static, appear to be improving now using Rashidi's schedules.
With regards to West Brom's youngsters, Rico Richards, Jacob Shepherd, Rayhaan Tulloch and Jovan Malcolm will probably be around 1st team squad this season.

Jan 22 update
Transfers out - Bockaj - took offence to being critisised for repeatedly poor training performance, off on loan to Swansea, Halilovic - got offered £7.5m, only a back-up, Ajayi, went to Newcastle £3.3m
Transfers in - Alex McCarthy for peanuts, can challenge Johnstone, Joey Veerman for £10m from under Chelsea's nose, v impressed so far, Helder Costa - £4.7m
Tactic seems to be working, much improved performances/position - point off Euro place, mid-Feb, need to improve away performances

Long time lurker, very rare poster.
Usual FM route sees me messing about with Aberdeen til someone gets paid off in EPL. Enter West Brom. I don't know any of their team, other than Periera, and that's from fantasy footie.
First season - The obvious severe lack of transfer funds to begin with, tied with my aversion to ageing footballers on high wages resulted in Austin and Grosicki leaving in first window. In came Zirkzee and Ben Johnson on loan, and Halilovic on a free. Tend to stick w/4231 formation, although do dabble w/442 with wingers on occasion. Horrendous fixtures to start with, Spurs, Liverpool and Man U in first 5 weeks. Didn't get out of bottom half all season. January window saw Peltier, Phillips and Robson-Kanu depart. Signed Ahmedhodzic (who doesn't?). Lost 2nd game in both cups. which matched boards expectations, to Leicester and Man City. Avoided relegation with 3 games to go, finished with 40pts, Karlan Grant was 2nd to Callum Wilson in EPL scorers and European golden boot, 23 goals. Worst defence in league. Fairly standard pos/role/duties, so assume players are poor.
Got £40 million to spend at end of season 1, went bargain hunting. Out went Bartley, Sawyers, Ivanovic, Gibbs, Zohore and Livermore. In came Peter Bockaj (£2.5m), Josha Vagnoman (£5m), Roland Hernandez (£1.5m), Gustavo Scarpa (£4m), Lewis Fergison (£3.5m), Doria (£3.5m), Enzo Crivelli (£3.5m), John Lundstram (free), Christopher Lenz (free), Max Lowe (£200k) and Cameron Carter-Vickers (free). Renewed Zirkzee and Gallacher's loans. Reduced squads average age from over 27 to under 24. 1st game, second season we had 8 (eight) debuts! Tweaked formation, bit more adventurous with the full backs (now that I have some that can dribble and cross), and a bit less adventurous on midfielders to compensate.
6 games in now, mid table. Not convinced w/Sam Johnstone in goals, seems to have a habit of falling on his butt when someone shoots, but maybe thats just the goalie animation this year. Got my eye on Angus Gunn, Freddie Woodman, Alex McCarthy, Archie Mair and Danny Ward as possible replacements.
Obvious Aberdeen fixation, signed Ferguson and Ronnie, and there's 4 Aberdeen connections in the goalie pot. May go back for McCrorie, Joe Lewis would only be a back-up and wants too much wages, Hoban is good enough, but injury prone.
Long term goals - Board - stay in league, full stop. Me - Cup win and/or Europe

Less leagues, and less players, are the obvious ones. There used to be a timer, not sure if that's still there, i.e. after x players had clicked 'continue', the remaining players had a set time before game continued automatically
