I won't really be playing games on it to be honest. I'll be running Autocad & Traktor though as well as using a midi controller through the USB (don't know if that effects anything). I'm definitely feeling the i3 from what you're saying though.

Get the i3 then.

I will be getting a laptop this week from PC World/Currys. Can anyone recommend a decent one that will run Football Manager 2012 well and in particular the 3D Match option?


Any help is much appreciated


Edit - Have set budget between £300-£400

I hear it's inadvisable to keep your laptop plugged in (on charge) all the time? How true is that?

It was more true a few years back, but if you use it as a desktop replacement for days, than pull it out.
