Hey guys,

complete newb here and I apologise if I sound stupid but I’ve just bought a new laptop from here but not sure if I’ve made a mistake, I wanted a gaming laptop mainly for Football manager(sad I know) as it’s never ran quick enough on a normal laptop, but I think I’ve just bought a top end normal laptop not gaming,sonot sure if the spaces are good enough to run it, could someone give them a look over to see if it’s fine?

I don't know what the minimum specs for football manager are, but the laptop spec above has no graphics card, so not really a gaming laptop at all. When you say 'bought', do you mean ordered, as in still in pre-production, so you can cancel?

Ah, ok, it has very low requirements. I've looked through some Steam forums and it seems that while you CAN run football manager on integrated graphics, the days advance slowly and 3d games czn be an issue.

What's your budget for the laptop? The Fusion III has a dedicated gpu, the mx250. It is weak by modern gaming standards but I think it would be perfect for your uses. Think of it as an entry level dedicated gpu. Football manager would run great, fast and 3d matches would be smooth. I'd look at a build based on that one: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/FusionIII-14/

AFAIK If you change an order bought on finance you have to go through the finance details again since it's a new agreement.
