laptop is hp dv9535nr:
1.5ghz (duo core) cpu
4gb ram (2gb stock)
nvidia 8600m gs vid card (256mb stock, up to 1023mb shared)
120gb hddx2
win 7 x64
i run at 1400x900 resolution
it was made in June 2007 - I bought it new... and then i bought another one for $150 that its video card "went out", I simply "reflowed" the video card and it worked perfectly. I got a GREAT deal on that one
it does the job, but nothing like a DX 11 card does.
id recommend buying a laptop over pc
it takes much less space and even if laptop is more expensive, the investment will return quickly
