New Laptop to run many leagues

[MC_______7]

Hello,
Looking to get back onto FM for the first time since 2018. i also need a new laptop to go with it and hopefully will get a good deal over Black Friday.
I know the base game doesnt take much to run but just wanted to ask what kind of specs would i need as i always run saves with at least over 30 leagues so i want a laptop that gives me at least 4 stars on the performance bar if thats what FM still uses to show the speed the game will run at?

if anyone could help that would be great.
budget.. i'm not looking to spend too much but would go to just under £2k if needed

What did you end up buying? I went with a Dell XPS 15 (i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) and it handles 30+ leagues in FM really smoothly.

For big saves, a strong CPU and plenty of RAM make the biggest difference. GPU isn’t as crucial unless you do other gaming. I also looked at DailyPay reviews since I used it to access a bit of wages early to help cover part of the laptop cost. Super handy.

Curious what you decided on and how it runs FM.
