Looking for an excellent spec laptop specifically for FM 21

Hi All,

I'm looking for a very good / excellent spec laptop specifically for playing FM21 (Football Manager 2021). The only other tasks I'll be using the laptop for is internet browsing, netflix, music playback, light admin work.

There's just so many different specs out there and I don't know what half of them mean & I'm not sure what specs I really need.

However, I would like to future proof my purchase somewhat in that the laptop should be able to handle future FM releases for at least 5 years from now.

I don't have a specific budget in mind but I'd like to load many leagues with a large database and would like the laptop to be able to handle the 3D graphics in the game.

All suggestions welcome!! One person I know suggested a Ryzen 7 5800H with RTX 3070 as being the features to look out for but I've no idea what these mean & whether or not they suit the purpose intended.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

this is all the laptop you need

it's very well priced for the specs at £999 and may well sell out imo

6-core 5600h and RTX 3060

will play any game out currently well

FM 2021 is not the most demanding game out there so it will blitz that game easily

the screen on it is good quality also (important for browsing and media playback)

the build quality is good

you could add 8gb ram yourself down the line but it will be fine out of the box (easy to do - just clicks in)

Thanks for the help & recommendation. It was in fact out of stock when I went back to the website. However it's back in stock again now.

Just wondering if the extra outlay would be worth the money on this model with the Ryzen 7 5800H as opposed to the Ryzen 5 5600H ?

Thanks Again,

not going to make much or any difference for gaming really

the 5600h is plenty powerful and the the video card will be the limit for game performance

the extra cores would be useful for video editing but none of the light (aside from gaming explained above) tasks you mentioned

not worth 200£ really (even allowing for the extra 8gb ram and bigger ssd) although it's not terrible value extra money-wise
