    @ConnorNot the best data set - but it was just an example of how I can compare - I did this in a hurry - and lost my original post.
    This was a 2nd attempt and I didn't clearly capture my data correctly in the screenshots.

     

    But it's just to show you how I would normally compare for someone - and the steps I go through to ensure that they are being looked after. 

     

    Again not all Laptops are being benchmarked -so it's difficult - we have to extrapolate the data and make a judgement call.

     

    No, totally understand your point Smurf and where your coming from.

    But as someone, who works on definitive information, as I only buy a PC/MAC purely for FM, benchmarking for me is the "go to" data set I refer to, in order to then try and make as safe a purchase as possible (For a 13" laptop, purely for FM, I think it's pretty well considered now that the M1 Macbook Air is pretty much the best pick, when factoring in both PPP (Performance Per Pound) and the Benchmarking Tests... which is a great source data for reassuring people when buying, purely for FM)

    Your logic makes sense and "should" transfer to FM and playing it in a real world scenario, but when spending circa 900/1K GBP, I try to minimise risk and work on a definite (i.e. will)

    I am sure and hope your input is appreciated by a lot of people here

    @Wendi

    Where the basic mac book air 13 inch is very good - and not saying you shouldn't get one.

    But on the off chance you don't want a Mac 

    I have put together the following:

    This comes in really strong

    i7 1195G7
    https://www.box.co.uk/U4-UD-70UK823SO-Gigabyte-U4-Intel-Core-i7-16GB-RAM-512GB_4090534.html

    image.png.b828b87781ea3ae92b3cbc726615d452.png

     

    This comes in a little lower (1 ranking which is nothing)

    1165G7
    https://www.box.co.uk/NX.A0MEK.008-Acer-Swift-3-(2021)-Intel-Core-i7-16GB-R_3213607.html

     

     

    Both of these are very good options if you are not considering a Macbook Air 13 inch.

     

     

    Do note that this has not been benchmarked for FM yet, where as the M1 one has, so not a real life comparison yet (for FM)

    Hey guys, 

     

    i‘m looking for a new Laptop. Prefered 13 or 14 Inches. Budget is around 900£. 
     

    mainly i will play Football Manager, browsing little bit, online Banking and doing taxes once a year. 
     

    thought about the lenovo yoga slim 7. do you have any other suggestions?

     

    thanks, Wendi. 

    Do yourself a favour and pick up a Macbook Air M1, best value money for Football Manager performance on that budget (for your requested screen size especially) - Amazon have it for £899.99 currently

    [FM22][SKIN][WIP] FME - Zealand v4.00 HOTFIX (08/01/2022)

    in Skinning Hideout

    Posted

    Using latest version and a couple of things I would like to see within match panels, the skin is great by the way, so thank you!:

    1) Ability to "drag" match stats part down on far left side under scoreboard - in order to enable more match stats to be seen (currently appears to be fixed, so cannot drag divider down to reduce size of Notable Events/The Dugout panel

    2) Similar request type to above, in that on all other panels, could we have the functionality to alter width/length of panels to enable more user customisation of what and how they want to see things

    People on here are saying the MacBook Air is running hot, I'm guessing due to the lack of fans. 

    Seems to be less of an issue with the MacBook Pro. 

    Have a Macbook Air M1 myself, can confirm it runs hot on 3D, 2D no issue (and 3D still runs on high details but chassis does get hot)

    Overall though purely for FM, the Macbook Air M1, is probably the quickest (in terms of bang for buck) you can get to play FM (Check out benchmarking thread, mutiple examples near the top of those tests)

    My only cons, would be screen size if you don't connect it to an external monitor (which I do) and running hot on 3D

    End of Season 1 - Progress Update

    League Finish - 8th

    FA Cup - 5th Round

    League Cup - n/a (already out)

    Summary

    End of first season of this challenge with Leeds

    It really took me time to turn the big ship that is Leeds around, at one stage I was concerned I was going to be relagated/sacked, winning only the once in my first ten games. But with a lot of perseverance eventually, things started to happen and in a major way, losing just 2 of my final 24 games of the season (I feel we were unlucky to miss out on Europe)

    When I arrived we were already out of the League Cup, with us being knocked out by Arsenal in the 5th round of the FA Cup

    Kalvin Philips and Raphinha being my standout players

    Would hope for a deep cup run next season!

    Challenge Progress - End of Season 1

    Domestic Titles

    0/13 Premier League Titles

    0/5 The Emirates FA Cup Titles

    0/4 Carabao Cup (League Cup) Titles

    0/10 English Community Shield

    European Titles

    0/2 UEFA Champions League

    0/1 UEFA Europa League 

    0/1 UEFA Super Cup

    0/2 FIFA Club World Championship

    Hi All 

    Budget of £900-1000 looking to purchase a new laptop in next couple of days. Computer is simply for playing FM and surfing/watching Netflix etc (no other games played) - Portability & Battery Life are "nice to haves"

    Looking into the Benchmarks thread I see nothing better than a bog standard Macbook Air M1 at that budget in terms of cpu performance for FM which is THE priority (screen size no issue for me - so willing to go for anything in between 13-16 inches)

    Have used both Macbooks and Windows laptops before, so happy with either OS.

    Would appreciate if anyone can recommend me any alternatives at around the same budget, if they think I can do better

    Many thanks in advance

    Auto Twitter Posts - not working?

    in All Other Gameplay

    Posted

    Hi All

    A few years ago after linking my twitter account to the game (FM17), the game would auto post small update on progress/records in my save to my Twitter.

    On FM21, this doesn't seem to work/do that after linking it to my twitter

    Anyone know if this is a known issue or how I can fix please?

    Thanks

    [FM21][SKIN] Rensie Purple & Dark skins

    in Skinning Hideout

    Posted

    I am playing on a 15 inch laptop and really like your skin, but in order to see all panels I need I am having to play on 85% zoom (125% windows - windows recommended)

    Using 1920 resolution but the player face seems overly big and takes up too much space, compared to other stuff I would like to see bigger.

    I am not a skinner at all, but has anyone any ideas/mods on what might help me here please?

    dafuge's FM21 challenge

    Hi Guys

    Really looking forward to this and joining in with the challenge! A one club save is what I enjoy most, so something to really get my teeth into

    Hornchurch are the team I have chosen, probably the most local to me of all the promoted clubs and colours matched the Sunday league team I played for, back in the day. Am a slow player (it might now take me a day or so to click continue!!!) but will be back with what I hope will be a successful first update

    Sorry for the delay didn't see this till now.

    So I did these two variations that are in the same format as the club ones above with a logo on the right. Did them in the proper FM purple. One with a cyan accent that SI uses and the other with a white header:

     

    IMG_0178.png

    IMG_0179.png

     

    But then I thought it would look better with just the full logo in the center:

    And without the year:
