New Laptop for FM

I've got to the point where I need to get a new laptop. I don't play any other games, only FM, and have never had a laptop which could produce 5* performance or game speed for FM before.

Does anyone have any recommendations for laptops? Also, how much should I be expecting to pay?

Will this be enough/too much/too little?

im no expert, but anything with a quadcore processor should easily give you a 5* performance. as for graphics, if you're wanting 5* id look for a laptop/pc with a dedicated graphics card

Cheers for that - with a quad core processor, how much would I expect to pay?

Also, I never play with the 3D match engine anyway as I still prefer the old school 2D...

again, im no expert mate, but the laptop you've mentioned above is good enough to play fm on but I think you can get better for the price.
you will get better answers on the football manager forums at SI. theres loads of threads asking about which laptop to buy.
id steer clear of pc world though as you will pay a fortune. I think I got mine from saveonlaptops if I remember correctly a couple of years ago and its still works fine now. I went for an all-in-on pc as theres no wires and its still reasonably portable with better specs than a laptop. I think I got it for around £500 and its quad core with dedicated graphics card.

Cheers, I appreciate that.
