AlphaRayEdge Posted 7/11/2011 12:54:24 AM	Hi all! Thanks in advance for any helpful answers. I just got an HP laptop a few days ago, and was wondering (hoping) if my laptop could run SCII. I don't really know what kind of specs you need to hear to get an idea, so I'll just post a few. HP Pavillion dm4 Intel Core i5-450M Processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.66GHz 500GB (7200RPM) Hard Drive 4096MB DDR3 SDRAM (2 Dimm) Tell me if you need more info to best answer my question. --- Pokemon Diamond FC:0645-4839-5392 name:Lucas

I have a Toshiba that I play on with a Core i3 Quad core and 3 gigs of ram and can play it on Medium. --- GT: Dirkstarlight00 SC II: Dirk 670

Sadly, Laptops just really aren't a good choice for gaming. A 400$ prebuilt desktop could run SC2 on Ultra-Extreme settings, but for a Laptop that can run those settings 800$ minimum probably. --- Most true fact about me:I am not a Saint.

saint35 Posted 7/11/2011 1:14:18 AM	Okay, I over exaggerated a little. Not necessarily Ultra-Extreme, but at the absolute minimum at least High settings. --- Most true fact about me:I am not a Saint.
AlphaRayEdge (Topic Creator) Posted 7/11/2011 1:18:52 AM	Thanks for all the answers, seems like I'll be able to play it albeit at a low setting, I found a link to the exact HP I have. http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-dm4-1165dx-2-6GHz-Broadband/dp/B004KNKWY2/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1310371998&sr=8-15 This is a little more detailed, and maybe will give you more information, if you still need it. :) --- Pokemon Diamond FC:0645-4839-5392 name:Lucas
saint35 Posted 7/11/2011 1:24:49 AM (edited)	Well, here's the best way to figure out how good your Laptop can play SC2 honestly: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/marketing/index.html Shows whether you meet minimum or recommended settings for the game. If you are lacking minimum or recommended settings, it gives some recommendations to reach those settings. After using this, just wondering where does your Laptop end up? Meeting minimum or recommended settings? --- Most true fact about me:I am not a Saint.
