Other Laptop recommendation?

[Bwuk]

I'm after a new laptop, and looking for some advice.

I'm only after one for the basics;

• Browsing the Internet
• Microsoft Word/Excel
• Capable to play FM20

Budget of about £300, but would stretch to £400 if needs be.

Any help/recommendations would be appreciated.

FM 2020 will almost certainly run like absolute shite on any laptop that cheap. Unless you're okay with buying used.

 

[Vato]

This should run FM.

That's a bit overkill. Minimum requirements for FM 2020

Requires 64-bit processor and operating system

• Windows 7 (SP1)
• Windows 8/8.1
• Windows 10 (1803/April 2018 Update)

Processor:
Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core 2 or AMD Athlon

2.2 GHz or higher

Memory: 2 GB RAM



Graphics Cards: Cards equal to or better than the following:

• Intel GMA X4500
• NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
• AMD/ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

256MB VRAM
DirectX Version 11



This seems like a good one

I believe FM 2020 is going to be released on Stadia.

For that price range, and for your usage requirements, you'd get way more bang for your £300 from a Chromebook.

I have that one and it runs FM19 fine at least

Especially one that looks like an 11 year olds toy.

I'd stay the feck away from HP. The rest of the advice in here seem good.

You could buy a herd of PS4 Pros for that money with enough left over for a decent laptop

Not in the Etihad

Sounds great.
