Slightly below the 13th gen i7 in terms of CPU power. however with the price difference I think this one actually represents better value for money.

Doesn't look like a huge difference, but they are definitely a bit of an upgrade.

I pay less attention to clock speeds, but if you can provide a link of the ones you're referring to, I can do a comparison.

My assumption is that it will be, but that's based on guesswork. I have asked SI for expected system requirements and they don't have an answer yet! However, if you want to look at something beefier, here's one with the RTX 4050. I'd be shocked if this wasn't good enough! https://www.megekko.nl/product/2057/937822/Laptops/MSI-Thin-GF63-12VE-012NL-Thin-gaming-laptop (For comparison, the 4050 is stronger than the 1660 Super in my desktop that handles Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator!).

This is a fantastic deal looking at the specs v price. https://www.mediamarkt.nl/nl/product/_msi-thin-gf63-12uc-683nl-156-inch-full-hd-intel-core-i7-16-gb-512-gb-geforce-rtx-3050-1769368.html

When it comes to FM25, I'd not currently be confident about suggesting anything without a dedicated graphics card, just to be on the safe side. This seems a good deal: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/msi-cyborg-15-15.6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-rtx-2050-512-gb-ssd-10253504.html

Hi there. If you can provide examples of sites you'd use in the Netherlands as well as which sites from the UK you know will ship to you and I'll have a look.

Absolutely fine

Nope, spec is identical apart from SSD capacity. In terms of other aspects, the Asus appears to have more USB ports, but the HP seems to have the better battery. Other than that, performance for FM should be the same for both.

Can't lie, I was expecting to be told off by the mods for that!

Blue balls is never fun.

I just realised I totally forgot to do this for the FM23 thread. I will do this for FM24 once you have the thread up.

Yeah, I'd say go for the HP Omen. Stronger CPU and dedicated graphics card as well as 16GB RAM.

If you could provide a link to the one you're referring to, that'd be helpful. I answer a lot of posts and having a quick glance I can't find the one you're referring to.

FM25 is harder to say - we don't have any indication of system requirements yet and I have asked! I am working on the assumption that a dedicated graphics card is a good idea for thinking of FM25 and beyond. Graphics wise, this will be fine for medium settings on 3D, possibly higher. In terms of how many leagues/database size etc we don't comment on that specifically as everyone's expectation of what a good processing speed is will be different.

Absolutely fine for FM24.

The CPU in that seems to score similarly to the i5 in the other one on the benchmark sites, so I'd still be inclined to go with the 16GB RAM option.

For a little bit more, you can get this one with the same CPU, but 16GB of RAM rather than 8GB: https://www.laptopstation.co.uk/products/lenovo-ideapad-v15-g3-12th-generation-core-i5-8gb-ram-256gb-ssd-windows-11-pro-10-core-processor-15-6-fhd-screen-laptop?_pos=3&_fid=0fcceb490&_ss=c

Out of those, I think it's pretty much tied between these two: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115915078541?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gZxgSrYHRfC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=LXYkI7-LSOm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://m.dell.com/h5/m/r/outlet.euro.dell.com/Online/SecondaryInventorySearch.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdfb1&l=en&s=dfb&sign=PXhcOSHtr1T4IOw%2FPR7Udbll5BGV%2Bg8IVhPrjAlKbhKVlYBtv4gV6l8DJBZXzpHDGl5C20Je3sB2zw29dhRwZgJwzoGxK0jFj3bnCec4Qwin9TfmBqg7lsKyYyv6Cgza25PycEfvuxBUX%2FAgZdQLNQJ%2BBhzQqtrvuYKIyPgf8PPdCveSrcKlNXkq7GP54K3iLSCg%2BIkvveD4eekBqPLVIUlSENgcf7ZWa97uX0MCaz5fARQ1TozbFj%2BPQdWXZVNA3yowxcZMIpE%3D They're both very close in terms of CPU and graphics performance.

In that case, I'd put in a support ticket to SI then. It may be some kind of compatibility issue with AMD GPU's perhaps.

It's less of an issue with Intel processors than it is AMD. I'd still say it's fine.

Weird..... the 6800XT is equivalent to the RTX 3080, which should see no issues with FM - I'm getting solid performance from the considerably weaker GTX 1660 Super. Have you checked that your drivers are all up to date?

Yep, should still be ok for FM25 as well based on my own assumptions of what the system requirements are likely to be,
