Littlewoods are truly awful and I can't see any details on what i5 it is at all.. there are dozens of i5's of many generations... so it could range from really low spec, barely capable of running your 5-7 leagues to top of the range which could run almost anything...

Every Lenovo 500 I've seen on other sites with the i5 come with that processor from what I've seen. What's a few leagues to you btw? Recent years I've managed two at a push lmao.

11Clarkie11 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks Welsace but as Besty said, the cash up front price is too much for me, can handle the installments much better. Reckon it could handle 8 countries with 3 leagues in each country well? Probably getting a season out of the way with 4 hours of solid gameplay?

Malicious Penguin Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Generic laptop recommendation request... I'd like to pay monthly, and think £750 usually comes to around £20ish pm? It'd be primarily for FM/streaming media files to my TV, but also would love it to have an Nvidia card to stream better to my Nvidia Shield - and I'm sick of the noise the fans on my Dell Inspiron N5110 make when I load up FM!

19052000 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm not computer illiterate but my knowledge of processors stopped being up to date when the Pentium replaced the dear old 486 I used to play CM2 on... Is an Intel Core i3-5157U processor and Intel Iris Graphics Card sufficient to handle FM16? (the machine has 8GB RAM which I know is more than enough on the ram front...) What about an AMD A10-8700P APU with an AMD Radeon R6 graphics card (again, with 8GB RAM which doesn't worry me). Any advice much appreciated. I know the minimum specs recommend an Intel 4 or AMD Athlon 2.2, 2.2 ghz cpu and various graphics cards but have no idea how these compare to the above.

There isn't a huge difference between the two in terms of pure processing, but the one you linked is a few generations old now and newer tech will always be more efficient.

You can customise the Cosmos to your needs, which is always great, but if you try and match the Dells specs, you'll find it will likely be more expensive...

So it really depends on what you want to spend and what you need. Welsh ace I have made a few adjustments on the Cosmos, I have the same processor a weaker graphics card but an SSD. This comes to £669. I think for my needs I can have weaker graphics card and gain an SSD as a NVIDIA Geforce GT 940m 2.0gb will be fine for FM 16 3D and the games I play aren't really graphics intensive.

Now, I think I have narrowed my choice down to either this PCSpecialist spec you have here, or the http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/80EW0...0_1906726.html you suggested later. I adjusted the Hard Disc memory on the Cosmos to a 1tb Serial ATA (is that worth doing compared to the 240gb v300 you have?) Totals £615 with VAT. Now, the other one (the Lenovo) is £400. I'm guessing that like for like the Cosmos is better, but would you say it's £215 better? (I know that's very subjective!) The only game I'll be using either for is FM. Thanks a lot.
