Unfortunately, my old laptop didn't allow to watch matches in 3D mode in Football Manager 2012 making many lags. Its internal video card doesn't correspond to the official system requirements, and SI Games lads told me they can improve nothing for low-end video cards.

This is reason why I decided to buy a new laptop containing external graphics hardware. So now I am ready to play Football Manager 2012 using highest graphic detail level because Radeon 6470 video card copes with 3D match viewer easily.

I prepared short comparison matrix of the both laptops:

My new Sony VAIO

My old Sony VAIO

And yes, I am Sony VAIO fan  They are very good in production of laptops with excellent heat and noise levels, performance, and design.
