Hi guys, so, I'm getting a new laptop in the next few days and, being the sad FM addict I am, it's performance on not just 14 but likely 15 through to at least 17 will affect my choice.

I'm going with what I think and have already been told is a very good choice that will comfortably run a game such as FM or FIFA comfortably in the HP Envy 15-j113ea, priced at 899.95. (Got 900 quid in John Lewis vouchers)

I would be willing to put money on many people on here knowing more about Laptop Performance than myself, based on the specs, I'd be tremendously greatful if someone could tell me how many players I could run on a database smoothly with this laptop, based on the specs below. (My current, 8 year old laptop runs a 42k database at approx. 1 match per hour, so it's very difficult for me to even finish a season, which is frustrating) So, here are the specs:

Operating System: Windows 8.1 64GB
Processor: Intel i7 4702MQ
RAM: 12GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT750M (4GB DDR3 Dedicated)
Hard Drive: 1.5 TB

You should be good for a couple of years with that. If you have the option, consider SSD instead of (or beside) hard drive. Oh, and maybe think about choosing better (HD) screen instead of a touchable one, except if you really need to touch it for some reason.

Not too sure about the Drive (may even come with an SSD). Thanks very much for the reply! I've read around and it would seem I could get away with a 50-70k database comfortably, which I'd be delighted with!
