A new laptop is absolutely essential ahead of the release of Football Manager 25, with the new game set to run on a completely new engine. Fortunately, there are a couple of great options available for a discount right now.

Now, I admit - FourFourTwo are not tech experts. In fact, we're far from it. But fortunately our brainy office mates at PC Gamer know what they're talking about, and have handpicked the Gigabyte and ASUS laptops as the best options for gamers wanting the most out of their machines. That doesn't just mean these laptops are great for just Football Manager players - they're brilliant for everything else, too.
So if you're constantly on Steam and enjoying the very best games available on the market, both laptops are ideal.
Seen as the best budget option currently available for gamers, the Gigabyte GX6 has an abundance of specifications that PC Gamer are huge fans of (and I'm unfortunately too uneducated to even attempt to make sense of). The ASUS laptop, meanwhile, is rated as the best overall gaming laptop - better than anything Apple, Windows or any of the other brands are able to match right now.
For me, this is such high praise that simply cannot be ignored. I'm personally in the market for a laptop that simply doesn't overheat at the earliest opportunity, so anything is a bonus right now. But that doesn't mean I'm going to settle for anything when the advice is right there.
Set to use a brand new Unity engine, Football Manager 25 will have a brand new look when it is finally released in its delayed March date. The new engine will enhance the gameplay, putting greater pressure on laptops across the world that might be on their last legs. With more leagues and new graphics, simulating season upon season has never been easier with these two laptops.
