    Looking at purchasing some new hardware to renew my love for the FM franchise.

    Just wondering should I be looking at Laptop(Windows) or MacBook (Apple) and what spec to allow it run a smooth quite detailed game??

    Also would need to be quite powerful I'd imagine as would look to invest in other games also (hopefully the new GTA if it is out on PC).

    Wouldn't be used for much else only the odd bit of web browsing.

    Thanks in advance

    if you get one powerful enough to run GTA it will run FM, aim for specs to suit it but seeing i don't think they are out yet i'd look for stats for highest specs in GTA 4 and SA and try and get the recommended specs and add to the RAM and GFX card.

    I'm sure you will get more detailed answers than this but thats my 2c

    FM will run on nearly everything just really REALLY slowly if you have a large database (mate is running it on a PC thats 6~ years old.

    AS Dannie above me says FM will run on most modernish PC's.
    I think your specs for a PC are going to be pushed more by the Graphics card needed to run a new version of GTA rather than by anything FM needs.

    What is your budget is usually a better starting point than what do you need.

    I have a computer form like 4 years ago and FM12 runs on it with all logos, about 6 leagues and large database. Anything modern should be good to go. I want to get a computer where I'm able to load up all leagues.

    Can anyone reccomend the cheapest way to make that 'dream' possible? Hahah

    Update my current laptop, or computer or any cheap enough laptops. Would it be possible to get a laptop for 350-400 that would make FM awesome
