I have a Lenovo ThinkPad (parents got it for me last Christmas) Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz 2.2 GHz Performance Rated at: 24.772 2.9 GB RAM Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family ( It says i fail this cause i need 128 MB 3D Graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or ATI Radeon X1300 or better) but it the dropdown menu it says (for the video card explaining what part of it is failing, which none of it is) Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card Video Ram Required : 128MB You Have: 1.3GB Hardware and TL Required : Yes You have: Yes Pixel shader version required: 3 You have 4 Vertex Shader Version 3 you have 4 Btw it excedes all recomended requirements excapet (the card) and the CPU Recommended: Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 GHz) or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz Ok so i know that my computer isnt for gaming, but it excedes most of the recomemnded requirements and when the demo, didnt buy the game yet, is running im using about 40-50% of the CPU, but its so choppy its unplayable. I cant rework the settings cause i dont know how to get to the screen on the demo (the game suggested a run a max spec cause my computer "can handle it") I just dont understand why my computer cant run it on a side note Minecraft also wont even work on its lowest setting, gotta keep it in a window What can I do to make my computer run this game?

Intel HD Graphics can run barely anything, buy a 9800GT if you need a graphics card on a budget.

Who says you can't upgrade a laptop? I modded my toshiba qosmio x300, they are just harder to upgrade and the parts are more expensive
