This one is good too - but MSI are known for battery not lasting when not plugged in

For light weight you'd be looking at this

All of them are good for Football MAnager - just need to weigh up battery life over weight and also think of the price you are willing to pay.

Thanks much!

Are you playing 2d or 3d and what kind of battery life are you expecting ?

3D but it’s not so important to me. I guess battery life is a little less important now. Delta has power at every seat on their planes. Thanks!

My existing laptop just died and I’m looking to buy a new one soon. I’m USA based and would like to cap my spend at around $1,000 (and less would obviously be great). I’d really appreciate any suggestions.

HP has some great deals at the moment, but many of their processors are 8th Gen i7 with base speeds of 1.8 GHz (boostable to 4.0 GHz). From what I’ve read on here, that may not be sufficient for FM19. Example: https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-laptop-15t-value-5jr88av-1

Battery life and portability are important to me, as I’m often on very long overseas flights.  And, to be honest, FM19 is really my only reason to have a laptop! It’s my main game.  So as long as it works, I’m a happy man.

Thanks again for any advice!
