    Great piece of machine tho you would want to look for a 32-bit operating system ''Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit'' if you pick the 64-bit you may run into a few software compatibly issues.

    It seems a bit over the top for what you need it for great cpu and great ram you could get a lower spec laptop to do what you need.

    But if i was you and had the cash to buy this one i would go for it

    I've been running windows 7 64 bit since the beta release and i haven't had one single combatibility issue. 64 bit is becoming the standard, so i really wouldn't worry about software issues.

    that's pretty much better than my laptop and I bought mine 2-3 years ago as a top of the line laptop...

    more than good enough so it is... it'll be blazingly fast for what you need it for pretty much

    only thing is the graphics card... may want to check will that run football manager but shouldn't be a problem
