Best way to test if a laptop can run FFXIV

[Ilan]

Good morning all

Just have a quick question. Other than checking the specs on a specific laptop, what is the best way to check to see if a potential purchase can run this game? I'm still in budget laptop range, so I can't spend too much on a high end laptop. To clarify, I'm not buying a laptop solely for FFXIV either, but being able to run it smoothly will influence which one I get.

Would I need to run a benchmark?

Look at the specs and if you have it at home there is a internetside where you can let the side check if you meet the requirements (search for "can you run it").
