    None the less it is a laptop running ARR ... that is a great thing to know! glad they are able to make low end PC and laptops handle a great graphical game.

    As much as I would like to assume so, I'm saving the celebration until beta. For all we know, this could just be a massively scaled down version of the client or he may not be playing the game at all, just running some check via some other tools. Do I hope it's true? Definitely. But holding off on jumping up and down until the beta.

    It's actually not that impressive when it comes to horsepower, but it would get the job done. It's more of a mobile machine that can handle some games, but nothing on an enthusiast level. I'd stlil say better off with a Sager/MSI/ASUS if you want to game on a laptop.

    I can second a good Sager. Mine's over the top but even the lower priced ones are good.

    Just got myself an Asus G55VW, 15.4" screen, intel i7 cpu, 8gb of ram, 750gb hard drive, and a GeForce GTX660M graphics card with 2gb dedicated gpu to top it all off, fairly cheap too. Considering swapping out the hard drive for a 250gb SSD and i can alays upgrade the ram if need be. I am, to say the least, very pleased with it's performance as compared to an old vaio that just died on me. Can't wait to test beta on it

    Agreed. Even at home, I have to tell my Sister/Brother-in-law to not expect something to run well on their laptops because one they saw in a screenshot running it. The settings could be very low, or it could be a very simplified client, what have you. If it does, great, but then again, i'm more strict about what runs "smooth" or whatnot than most.

    The laptop has Nvidia logo, if it's one of the new models it probably using: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640M LE (1GB or 2GB) dedicated. This is a lot better than Intel HD4000
