ManOnAMission

Ah yeah thanks, not sure why I thought it was refurbished. So would you say the one below isn't worth the extra £100? The only advantage I can see is that it has more RAM, but with the Lenovo one you can install more (not done this before, but hopefully it's easy). https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asus-tuf-gaming-f15-intel-core-i5-11400h-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-nvidia-rtx-3050-fx506hc-hn057w/version.asp EDIT: Or this other one from Currys - again, not much difference apart from Intel and more RAM. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/asus-tuf-gaming-f15-15.6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-rtx-2050-512-gb-ssd-10246722.html

Looked further into these and I think both are refurbished rather than new (unless I'm mistaken). I've had bad experiences with second hand laptops in the past. If this is the case, are there any new ones around my price range that you'd say are just as good/a little bit of a downgrade.

Thanks!

Thanks! Is there a big difference between Intel and AMD in terms of FM or general performance? I've only ever had Intel.

Budget is around £700, willing to go a little bit over if it's worth it. Found the below - I'm not very techy - is this the best choice within my budget? Main concern is that I know FM25 is going to require better specs and I want it to last 5+ years if possible. Don't play any other games and main other use would be social media and watching YouTube and Netflix. https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asus-tuf-gaming-f15-intel-core-i5-11400h-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-nvidia-rtx-3050-fx506hc-hn057w/version.asp
