In terms of single-core processing ability (which is most important for FM), there isn't much difference at all between this one and the one Smurf posted, and the one Smurf posted had a slightly better graphics card too, and graphics cards are difficult to upgrade in a laptop too.

If you're mostly going for FM, but want to play some other, more graphically intensive games too, I'd probably still go with the one Smurf posted, and spend the difference in money on getting an extra 8GB RAM to add into it.

great thank you all

You can upgrade RAM but you can't upgrade the processor. 8gb is fine for fm and you can upgrade to faster ram and to 16gb ram in the future at relatively low cost. 

Upgrading RAM doesn't break the warranty on the device either, however, if you were to try upgrade the processor it would likely void the warranty - and changing the processor in a laptop can be tricky.

thanks again - i've done some more searching and will probably plump for this as better processor and will be able to upgrade ram further down the line, and still within budget

thanks both for your advice. that one is 8gb ram, i read your advice earlier on the thread saying 8gb is fine for fm, would you caution getting this one with lower ram and better processor with the option to upgrade the ram further down the line? upgrading ram is easy, no?

Hi all. finally upgrading to new laptop after nearly 7 years. use my laptop for FM and general music/web browsing/streaming etc.

Budget circa £800 but i can be tempted to stretch if really worth it/advisable.

on fm, i'm not that fussed by 3d, so would be a bonus if possible but i wont cry if i cant do it decently. i like running 9-10 leagues and as large a database as i can. key for me would be to buy something that should serve me for at least 4/5 years, although i appreciate that's hard to predict.

i've seen this https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J962-2073-MSI-GL62M-7RDX-2073UK_2418012.html

what do we think? can i do better?

thanks in advance.

I'm really struggling away with this tactic on 19.2. I'm arsenal, have lost to Huddersfield and Burnley, scraped a draw with brighton and at home only just beat leeds. all teams in bottom third of table. all in the past 5/6 weeks or so. anybody else? any ideas?
