Best laptop to buy

skippie

Hi all,

Looking for a gaming laptop- Football Manager, like to play quite extensively and have a budget of around £600?

Anyone got any idea? I am not very good with these contraptions.

All advice appreciated.

Thanks

You shouldn't need anything super powerful for Football Manager. Just make sure it has a dedicated GPU in. The matches are awful and unplayable when running on the build in intel cards, but works fine when using the GT650M.

Id also suggest an i5/i7 rather than an i3 or slower. The extra processing power will reduce the time spend loading between days

Thanks for the advice,

Is the MSI better than these cube laptops?

Cube Chameleon CZ-5840
CB-CZ5840-756MF

Cube Chameleon CZ-5840
CB-CZ5840-1010SP

Both on the saveonlaptops website and at £600?

Those Cube's have a better processor, but the MSI has a better gpu. For generally gaming, the MSi will be slightly better (althou not much in it)

however, for football manager, the cube would be better, as the Quad core cpu will make the most difference
