Hello everyone I have done abit of reading on a new laptop as I currently have a i3 5th gen which is obviously going slow now. 

I have a budget of about £600 max. I understand that processors that are underclocked are not good for FM but is this the case with 8th gen i5s for example or just older gens? Would it be worth getting a processor such as the i5-8300h instead? Not sure if the 1.6ghz standard on the U processor would be an issue. 

Dont play on 3d graphics but understand a dedicated graphics card is better, so happy to get one but just a entry level nothing too mad.

i will always get at least 8gb of ram. 

 

Also, does anyone remember getting a laptop last black friday and wether any of the gaming laptops of about £800 reduced by a couple hundred? Thanks any help is apperciated.

Could stretch to this. With a i5-9300h processor and a dedicated graphics card and 8gb ram and SSD storage. Think thats good for £650 tbh?
