New Laptop Advice

Morning
Im in the market for a laptop as I am tired with having to hunch over my desktop!
Im generally computer savvy but would like a hand in picking one out. I'm looking for a minimum of 8gb Ram, Football Manager
, and a decent processor. I want one thats relatively future proof i.e. one that doesnt need replacing in a year!
Any help is appreciated!

Not an expert on laptops but this ticks a few boxes, especially the 2 year warranty (which people will know I'm keen on :-)

IMO, RAM is not the most important, but the CPU and graphic card is. It is because you can easily add RAM yourself.
What is your budget?0 -
Around £500 as a budget but can be increased if the right one comes along!0
