    Im looking to get a new laptop to play FM on as the one I have is about 8 years old and barely functions never mind play FM on it. Can anyone recommend a good laptop for playing it on? Takes up a lot of space!!

    Any of the new laptops should be well able for it. Mine is three or four years old now and is able to run every single league in the game. It wasn't even an expensive laptop, got it for about €300 I think. You should be fine with any laptop made recently provided it costs more than a mars bar and a can of coke.

    I got an ASUS X35T-K53TA over Christmas, runs most things (Including Pro Ev 11) no bothers, playing FM09 which is a dream even on battery saving mode. Wasn't too expensive for me, just a touch over 500, and for something with a serious processing capability, RAM, and a dedicated 512mb graphics card I thought it was decent :) Does everything I ask anyways!

    Anything with a decent processor (2GHz+) and a semi decent GPU if you play in 3D mode and you're sorted. Processor is more important though.
