Best Buy's website is advertising the Gateway-Laptop w Intel Core 2 Duo Processor as a gaming unit. Will AH run smoothly on it?

windows 7 home Premium 64 bit
4GB RAM, 500GB SATA 5400rpm
Intel graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD

Laptops are not built for gaming, buy a desktop. 'nuff said.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

It would run fine if the graphics card was better. That Intel model will not be able to run AH properly.

Find a laptop with NV 9600GSO go or ATI 3870 mobility or better. That will cost you double the price of a comparative desktop computer but if you HAVE to have a laptop..

yup, for the same cost as a laptop which will run AH well, you could have a PC which runs AH brilliantly and a laptop for mobile stuff...
