whats spec for a laptop is required to run this game and the upcoming witw at an acceptable level?

i certainly don't intent buying a gaming laptop but im looking to spend around �500 on a laptop and am wondering if for example a graphic card is required or am i better investing in a laptop with a faster processor?

Id be interested to hear some opinions from players who run this game on laptops.

Cheers.

Hello

As far as I can tell graphic card is not important. When you play against the AI CPU is important. So you do not need a "gaming laptop". This mean often it has a "better" graphic chipset. So focus a little bit more on the processor.

I wouldn't buy a laptop based on how it performs with one certain game. Go to a local shop or two and tell them what you want it to do. They will point you in the right direction. Or go to Newegg.com and talk to one of their people.

I do this game on two different laptops, neither is the "newest" thing around. One quite old (7 yrs?), the other not current (2-3 yrs?.) Neither bought with gaming in mind, only general purposes. Agree that processor speed is principal choice issue. My laptop buys always are always price based, BTW.

Getting a laptop with dedicated graphics is usually a good idea, especially if you plan to play other games or watch movies on it.

Screen resolution is important to fit game on screen. Screen size for comfort. CPU for AI speed. Rest not much.

The most important items in a laptop is CPU and graphics card. Memory, hard drives, etc. can all be upgraded, but the CPU and GC cannot. Even if you do not play graphically demanding games, at some point, even 'basic' games may require more graphic HP that what you currently have
