RickH Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi guys, looking to purchase a new laptop as my current one is on its last legs! It will be mainly used for FM18, general web browsing & possibly the odd basic RTS game. Can I get honest opinions on these 3 MSI laptops please? All are potentially in budget, but I'd rather go cheaper unless the benefits are significant. Only problem is that I don't know a great deal about the intricate differences in spec so I'm heavily reliant on the brainpower in this thread! http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/bct/laptops-and-netbooks/msi-laptops?rangeattribute=1~689~800 Cheers!

Smurf Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The processor part is the worst there - it's not great - but will play FM if you keep the leagues down and the database relatively small. What's your budget? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuste Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and to FM... Was looking to buy a laptop to play, but found this all in one for a little over my budget. (https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/F0AU008FUS-Lenovo-B50-30-All-in-One-PC_2078519.html) I could just save another month and get the all in one, but would it be noticeably better at running FM than say a Lenovo Ideapad 300? Also, with the all in one, how well would that run? Would I be able to play with many leagues, and do you think it could handle 3D? I'd probably only be showing highlights anyway. Thanks in advance and hello everybody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The all in one is quite good and fine for FM. If you're looking for a laptop - this is similar https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J562-1673-MSI-GL62-7QF-1673UK_2066567.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickH Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks for the advice, but I'm going to show my age now. That laptop comes with both a HDD and SSD, how would you you combine the use of both to get the best performance? I.e. What would you install on the SSD?

Smurf Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 SSD would be the operating system and install FM on this too. However, there is contradicting reports that SSD for FM is of little use as it doesn't speed up the load/save times of games. However, a SSD is far better than a HD for the operating system to be installed on. Also, install any application that you'll use the most on the SSD.

Smurf Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Processor letting it down slightly. 2D wouldn't be an issue with this computer. However, how many leagues and size of database are you looking at?

Syfi777 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hi thanks for the reply! Leagues, I usually just have the main ones. English, Spain, Italy, German. Usually only the top divisons.

MattJames15 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi, I apologise if someone has requested something similar previously but I'm not too good with laptops! Essentially, I need something that will take me a good way into the distance on a save (I normally load the big five leagues and maybe one or two others with a medium database). I really like a long save so wasn't sure about processing and what I should be looking for. Other than that, probably looking to spend anywhere under £600 but would be happy to take recommendations for anything over that. I never watch 3D so this isn't important for me. Thanks in advance!

Smurf Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's impossible to know - all the Core i5 tells me is that it's an i5 Processor i5 indicates the Brand Identifier followed by a Generation Indication (there's 7 generations of i5 processors available) followed by a SKU numeric digit (usually 3) followed by product line suffix There's lots of i5 processors that are 2.3ghz (or 2300mhz) Where i5 is brand and number is generation (e.g. i5-6 = 6th generation, 15-7 = 7th gen, i5-3 = 3rd gen) Core i5-6 350 HQ Core i5-6 198 DU Core i5-6 200 U Core i5-7 360 U Core i5-3 570 T Core i5-4 670 T Core i5-6500 TE HQ = High performance graphics, quad core DU = (not sure that one is new to me??) U = Ultra-low power (means it doesn't use as much battery/mains power) T = Power-optimized lifestyle (much lower performance, but also much lower power draw) TE = same as above but an embedded (basically same as above don't worry about the E - I think) Please do send a link so we can look it over.

tyler16 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi guys, was recommended to post this here. Really appreciate any help. Quote Currently playing FM17 on a MacBook Pro and while it runs more or less fine, anything other than 2D Classic creates a lot of heat because of the Retina display. I'm debating picking up a gaming laptop on the cheaper end with the sole intention of using it for FM with higher settings/a larger database. Judge me, I'm addicted. Hard to find benchmarks online so I was hoping people playing on laptops could post their: 1) laptop model 2) FM17 in-game settings 3) laptop heat level 4) overall experience this is what I'm currently looking at. Hoping this would run near max on GPU rendering with minimal heat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LD4MGY4/?tag=lapninj-20 Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCular Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Hi Guys, I'm after some guidance on a new laptop after my trusty Alienware M15X of 7 years finally died a death (not before blowing an extension lead and tripping all of the electrics mind). Having gone with the fancy option when I bought it based on appearance alone, I now understand that it's not the best option to take for performance and the Alienware struggled for quite some time to load the number of graphics I had installed etc and anything over 5-6 leagues and a 56,000 player database became a bit of a pain after a while. I've looked at some of the MSI laptops and have been tempted but I thought it would be best looking for second opinions first. I've got a budget of £600 for a new one and am open to suggestions!

BeerBellyDad Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 First of all, thanks to all the bros here trying to help in sharing their cpu and laptop knowledge. I created an account just to post in this thread because I am planning to finally give up on my macbook pro. I've been playing football manager for 5 years and it is now the time for upgrade. I am still unsure if I'll go with desktop or laptop. After work, I am usually at home so desktop is okay but the thought of laptop's portability is tasty as well. My plan is to buy a machine that will run all leagues and large player database (I don't want to miss that wonderkid from Norway haha). If I will go with a desktop, my budget can get me this: DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD (ZEAL) : AFTERSHOCK H110MH Motherboard Desktop Processor : Intel® Core™ i5-7500 3.40 GHz Kaby Lake Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) Thermal Compound : Stock Thermal Compound Memory (RAM) : 16GB DDR4 2133mhz (2x8) GRAPHICS CARD (DESKTOP) : ZOTAC NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 M.2 SSD BAY (Desktop) : None Solid State Drive (Desktop) : 120GB WD SSD (530 Read, 430 Write speeds) *M.2 Version* First Hard Drive (Desktop) : TOSHIBA 1TB 3.5 INCH HDD (Buffer Size 32MB) https://www.aftershockpc.com/welcome/ProductconfigRec/zeal Is this enough?

Thanks i use little woods for finance reasons i understand i could probs save few hundred elsewhere Impossible to tell - as the processor model number is hidden, all we know is that it's an i5 - which could mean anything. Overall looks good. But no processor information - then no recommendation from me. If your budget is as large as that - then perhaps this https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/17-w110na-HP-OMEN-17-w110na_2025523.htm On 7/10/2017 at 11:42, SirCular said: Hi Guys, I'm after some guidance on a new laptop after my trusty Alienware M15X of 7 years finally died a death (not before blowing an extension lead and tripping all of the electrics mind). Having gone with the fancy option when I bought it based on appearance alone, I now understand that it's not the best option to take for performance and the Alienware struggled for quite some time to load the number of graphics I had installed etc and anything over 5-6 leagues and a 56,000 player database became a bit of a pain after a while. I've looked at some of the MSI laptops and have been tempted but I thought it would be best looking for second opinions first. I've got a budget of £600 for a new one and am open to suggestions! https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J562-1673-MSI-GL62-7QF-1673UK_2066567.html This is the best I can see at that price On 7/11/2017 at 04:57, BeerBellyDad said: First of all, thanks to all the bros here trying to help in sharing their cpu and laptop knowledge. I created an account just to post in this thread because I am planning to finally give up on my macbook pro. I've been playing football manager for 5 years and it is now the time for upgrade. I am still unsure if I'll go with desktop or laptop. After work, I am usually at home so desktop is okay but the thought of laptop's portability is tasty as well. My plan is to buy a machine that will run all leagues and large player database (I don't want to miss that wonderkid from Norway haha). If I will go with a desktop, my budget can get me this: DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD (ZEAL) : AFTERSHOCK H110MH Motherboard Desktop Processor : Intel® Core™ i5-7500 3.40 GHz Kaby Lake Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) Thermal Compound : Stock Thermal Compound Memory (RAM) : 16GB DDR4 2133mhz (2x8) GRAPHICS CARD (DESKTOP) : ZOTAC NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 M.2 SSD BAY (Desktop) : None Solid State Drive (Desktop) : 120GB WD SSD (530 Read, 430 Write speeds) *M.2 Version* First Hard Drive (Desktop) : TOSHIBA 1TB 3.5 INCH HDD (Buffer Size 32MB) https://www.aftershockpc.com/welcfome/ProductconfigRec/zeal Is this enough? Thanks guys and i hope you can help me on this Spring the extra 30 for the thermal compound Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCular Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Smurf - really appreciate the response, but funnily enough I ordered that exact model from eBuyer on Monday which arrived yesterday. Very happy with it thus far! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Cool - maybe you can post specs and your setup here - it might help guide others who are looking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
