Will this laptop run fm?

I've read the fm requirements and this appears to match them, but I just wanted to make sure before I buy it.

Will this be able to run fm well? I like to run many leagues and nations (10-15 usually) will I have an issues with this laptop?

Thanks in advance...

The processor might be a weak point there, but I think it will run ok if perhaps a bit slow.

thanks for the reply, so what sort of processor should I be looking for so it runs smoothly? I'm not really looking to spend more than £450.

I know, it's £50 more than you said. But christmas is just around the corner!

Please ignore the fact I picked a pink one lol

Would that one run fm well? It looks the same as the one you posted tbh is there any difference? Apart from the fact its not pink haha

The processor is an i5-2410M, while the one I posted was an i5-3210M. But yeah, I think it will run FM decently. It's a shame though, since they both cost £499 and you're getting a weaker processor than the pink one. Why the hell don't they deliver it in black or something.

I'll try to find one in a different color, but if not then f*it I'll just get the pink one. No point me getting a weaker processor for the same price just for the sake of the color

I'd take this advice with a pinch of salt. Having worked in IT for a while now I can tell you that the i3 processor in the original thread is more than capeable of handling FM and is quite a good processor indeed for general use!

Ofcourse the i5 is better, but but an i3 processor can even be used to handle a lot more intense games.

I personally use a laptop with an i3 processor and get 5/5 game speed rating. This with just 4GB of RAM too as I don't have a reason to upgrade.
