I'd go with the first one. 

Albeit very close. The last one has a TDP of 35 which is slightly lower than the first one.

TDP is the Thermal design and it means the lwer the number the more the processor can throttle when under pressure from large CPU loads.

And FM is very CPU intensive.

It's a close one in my book. But whatever you feel is ok for you.

Who knows - the star rating has been flawed for a long time in the game. 

And I have no idea what your previous specs were.

It might be better, it might not, but probably will be a lot better.

In regards to best processors, as a general guide we tend to suggest using the following comparison site as a good gauge of the performance capabilities - https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html 

Basic rule of thumb is the higher it is on the list, the better it is. You can edit it to show processors for desktops and also those that are considered 'archived' via the restriction options. 

Hope some of this is of use. 

 

 

 

Hi, I also checked the list in the link above and I found this laptop - Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 Shadow Black - Gaming Laptop | Alzashop.com

It has AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, which is rated higher than all of the processors I mentioned above (I guess mostly because of 8 cores compared to 4/6) and still has GeForce 3060 6GB and 16GB RAM.

So compared to these two Lenovo Legion 5-15ACH6H - Gaming Laptop | Alzashop.com ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX516PM-HN023T sivý herný notebook | Nay.sk it should be slightly better, right?

Thanks

My previous specs were: INTEL Core i5 7300HQ, 8GB RAM DDR4, nVidia GeForce GTX 950M and it did not have SSD, so I feel that all of these should be significant upgrade.

Can you give some examples of stores you can order from within your country (you've not stated where you're based) - I can have a look and see what's on offer where you are.

Yeah, sorry, I kinda forgot about this.

I'm based in Slovakia, I'll be looking to order from either Laptops | Alzashop.com or Nay.sk - ee live by technology | Nay.sk 

Right now I have a "shortlist" of these laptops, but of course, if you would find something better in similar price range, I would definitely check it.

Lenovo Legion 5-15ACH6H - Gaming Laptop | Alzashop.com (only AMD Ryzen 5, I was looking for either Ryzen 7 or iCore 7, but I'm not sure how big of a difference does it make)

Acer Nitro 5 Obsidian, Black - Gaming Laptop | Alzashop.com

HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk1009nc (20C62EA) čierny herný notebook | Nay.sk

ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX516PM-HN023T sivý herný notebook | Nay.sk

I feel like the last one is the best out of these, but I'm not 100% sure.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I'm also looking to play occasionally other games (mostly Apex) as well as maybe start streaming. In FM I like to run larger databases - right now on my older laptop I start my saves with around 70k players and the performance is 2 stars (but ofc goes down later, as there are more players).

Thanks

Hi, looking to upgrade my laptop for FM 22 - I will use it mainly for FM, maybe I'd also use it for streaming and some video editing. Of course I'd like to select as many leagues and players as possible.

My ideal budget is around 1000 EUR (around 900 GBP I guess), but can go a little over, if there's a significant upgrade.

Thanks for any advice

[[Spain] (Official) League Specific Issues]

Right, I'm not sure how the promotion of 3rd Spanish tier works, but I'm 99% sure I wasn't supposed to get promoted...I finished 3rd in regular season, which sent me to Promotion stage. However, I only scored one point from 9 games, I fell to last 6th place in the table, but after the penultimate match I got message I got promoted.

It's definitely not because of the B teams, since there are 3 regular teams in front of me. Plus I checked Promotion stage in different groups and it seems, that in every group the last team got promoted?

I can provide more information when I progress in the game, whether me and the other teams actually got promoted.

 

EDIT: It seems that there is a "new" 3rd tier being created and we were "promoted" there - other teams fight for the promotion to 2nd tier and the other teams, that finished below in regular stage remain in Segunda Division B which will be 4th tier from 2021/22? I haven't found anything about this change on wikipedia, so I have no idea where I will play next year, maybe if someone could provide more details on that?
