The reason Smurf said you could get much better for another £150 or so is because then you could get something like this: https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J962-2073-MSI-GL62M-7RDX-2073UK_2245212.html Better processor (with higher base speeds), has both a Solid State Drive to speed up booting and the space of a 1TB normal hard drive, and a dedicated graphics card that'll help the game when it comes to playing matches, all for about an extra £120.

You'd be looking at an extra £100 or so for a legit copy of Windows 10, and depending what other games you wanted to play, about £150-200 at least for a solid graphics card, which would bring the total price to about £650-700. 2 hours ago, Andersonw92 said: https://www.box.co.uk/NX.GDAEK.003-Acer-Aspire-F15-F5-573G_2186600.html Or this?? The processor in that is pretty mediocre, as it's an Intel i3 processor, which isn't really designed for games or anything particularly intensive, which is why most of us would suggest an i5 or i7 processor (which are more expensive, but that's because they run things better/faster). It'd play the game, but not very well.

ryanlion28 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hello, I currently have a budget laptop which has run it's course now and is going really slow. On FM18 i have a lower league database and my laptop just can't handle it and it feels like its gonna overheat and processing a day takes ages. With FM demands becoming increasingly higher year on year i want to buy FM19 as well as a new laptop but don't want to go through that same experience of it not being able to handle lower leagues. Unfortunately i am not blessed with money so was looking at cheaper laptops to buy, would the below be capable of running FM19 to a decent standard? I'm not expecting super speed but i dont want my experience to be excruciating. The speed and running of the game is literally make or break for me as to whether i should buy FM19 or not, TIA. I have looked at the FM19 specifications but i am a computer noob so it doesn't make much sense to me https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-3-15-6-intel-core-i3-laptop-128-ssd-blue-10180745-pdt.html?istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=-xiiiqrqqra&istBid=tztx&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1011 (PLA) Windows Laptops and Convertibles - Adaptive~1011 (PLA) Windows Laptops And Convertibles ad group~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=c&ds_kids=92700037493151436&tgtid=1011 (PLA) Windows Laptops and Convertibles - Adaptive&&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNXeBRAjEiwAjqYhFpq4ZpdcvbCwPe4vfY0VmHdSw_Z_hyFotLbgjlo0k7as5Kmn8tlXJxoCwP0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The processor is minimum spec, and given it doesn't say what integrated graphics it is using, I can't even say if that would be good enough for bare minimum. If your current laptop can't run a lower league database, this one wouldn't be any better, I'm afraid. To play the game to any decent degree, you're looking at £600 minimum really for a new laptop.

spensirl Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi, First post (woo) I just got a macbook pro through work, and they dont really mind what i install on it. Previously used fm14 - 18 it on a pretty weak personal laptop (toshiba satellite), and it had real trouble towards the end, so don't really want to play on that anymore. That had 2 stars of performance with about 5 leagues loaded in the end. Is it worth me buying fm19 for my macbook pro? I was thinking of getting a new personal laptop, but I doubt I can afford a high end one at the moment (PhD student), with max budget of £600. I normally play on 2d, with replays on 3d, but I do like loading a larger database. Specs: Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro15,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 8 GB Chipset Model: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 Thanks!

Truegunner Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 While I wouldn't normally reccomend this as it's a ulv and it's base clock is only 1.8ghz (but boosts up to 4ghz), the i7 8550u is actually suprisingly capable with FM 19 on my new laptop as it is able to hold the turbo for hours, I even did a 3-4 hour session the other night and ran a tool to track the clock speed and it did fluctuate but it never went below 2.4ghz (on battery however it went down to 2ghz even so it still was higher than 2.4ghz most of the time on battery) and in general was usually over 3ghz during the session. It probably helps that I have a 15 inch laptop that has good cooling as in an ultrabook there would be extreme throttling, I got this as I needed a convertible for certain things that I have to do, I would say in the right laptop with the right cooling fm should run pretty smoothly, however that dosen't mean I would reccomend this over a HQ or H processor for FM, but if you need better battery, portability or a certain form factor then the i7 8550u is not a bad thing to play FM on. If anyone wants to know what I have its called the HP Spectre x360 15. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want 3D, that's not a good computer.

Well to be fair they are not half wrong the gpu on that is the best integrated gpu you can get on a laptop and nearly matches a gtx 950m so that will handle 3d fine.

For FM it should run the 3d on medium smoothly, the cpu however will play fm itself ok as it meets the requirements and is quite a capable cpu. However as its amd I have no idea if that cpu would throttle. For reference I have a mx150 which is about 40% better and plays 3d on high settings and a processor clocked at 1.8ghz (with 4ghz boost) and that runs FM pretty well.

Hard to say, a better count would be how many players can it handle for example on my current save I have about 60k players and about 8 nations. As the 2700u on that laptop is of roughly the same level as my laptops processor I would suggest to actually run leas (maybe 40k players and 6 nations for example).

QWERTYOP Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 10 hours ago, JordanMillward_1 said: If you want 3D, that's not a good computer. The processor isn't the best, though it'll play the game, but it has no dedicated graphics card, so 3D would be poor at best, and you wouldn't be able to play any other games on it really. Saving up another £150, you could get this one, which would run the game in 3D easily, and you'd be able to play other games on it too without much trouble - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-nitro-5-15-6-intel-core-i5-gtx-1050-gaming-laptop-1-tb-hdd-10181374-pdt.html Y’know, in a way I’m somewhat tempted to save up & go for this one if it will make a significant difference. In practice & layman’s terms, how much difference would this make over my other selection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see the on recommeded to you is far higher up the list of how they are ranked. Here's another way of looking at it: Above shows the i5-8300h vs the Ryzen 7 2700U - the i5 is showing all the green pluses. SC - single core - there's a 32% increase in performance for the i5 - FM is still largely single core - so this is a huge plus over the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U. It's also faster in the Quad Core (QC) and the Mixed Core (MC) - which gives it better processing abilities than the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U. The graphics card is similarly better - in fact it has a +192% Effective 3D Speed: There's another list to look at here to show you how they are ranked. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corndog69 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hey, I just got this as a birthday present, what sort of speed do you think I could run fm 19 at?

I'd expect to manage a small amount of leagues, and a small to medium database. Graphics wise - 2d would be best - but you could try 3D on low detail levels. All in all - download the trial/demo and give it a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corndog69 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks for that! What would you recommend for say 12 leagues 5 countries, large database, running smoothly? 2d matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji-Sung Park Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Greetings Smurf, I bought the Acer Nitro 5 with the following specs: Intel Core i7 (8. generasjon) 8750H / 2.2 GHz 6 cores - 4.1 GHz 16GB RAM 512GB SSD NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 SDRAM I didn't buy it for FM purposes, but I assume this will run a lot of leagues in good quality?

What would you recommend for say 12 leagues 5 countries, large database, running smoothly? 2d matches There's no way to know how many leagues/database size any computer will run. Technically, you could load that many on the computer you have, but would you be happy with how fast the game progresses day to day? Only you can answer that. Typically, I'd expect a mid-range processor to be capable of what you describe, at the moment you're at entry level. 50 minutes ago, Ji-Sung Park said: Greetings Smurf, I bought the Acer Nitro 5 with the following specs: Intel Core i7 (8. generasjon) 8750H / 2.2 GHz 6 cores - 4.1 GHz 16GB RAM 512GB SSD NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 SDRAM I didn't buy it for FM purposes, but I assume this will run a lot of leagues in good quality?

Purffy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi, Budget of £500-£650 Found this when looking through comments above - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-nitro-5-15-6-intel-core-i5-gtx-1050-gaming-laptop-1-tb-hdd-10181374-pdt.html I mainly run 2D (not a fan of 3D) but will probably use 3D replays from time to time. Also, is it worth waiting for Black Friday to save £££? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should run - not the best and a bit old - but should be ok. More RAM would be better - an extra 4gb would improve performance Graphics - 3d would struggle - low detail if you are using - or play with 2d pitch.
