I'm looking for budget laptops good enough to run games like FM15, has anyone got any recommendations and has anyone gone down the reconditioned/refurbished route?

I'm looking for budget laptops good enough to run games like FM15, has anyone got any recommendations and has anyone gone down the reconditioned/refurbished route?

I needed half a dozen recons to help out a friend and used these people...

I don't play FM but I suspect they might be able to point you in the right direction..

I'm not really au fait with the graphics in FM 2015, but the following page indicates that the requirements aren't too demanding:

That said, a lot depends on how much you want to spend. If I were you, I'd try to get a laptop with a Core i3 processor as it will be much, much faster than the alternatives (Intel Celeron or AMD portable chips). A quick look around indicates you would be paying around £270 for one of these, however.

If you want to spend less than this, not really sure if you would be better off with one of the Celeron or other Intel chips or an AMD one. They would all be a lot slower than the i3, however.
