I'm going to be heading out of town for a week in October and am on the prowl for a machine that will do the deed for me. Someone's offered this machine in exchange for one of my 1911's and I'm considering it. I just need to know if that "intel HD graphics" thing will drive the game at all.

Minimum Settings maybe 15-30FPS is my guess with a Lot Of Luck:
1) CPU Doesn't Meet Minimum Requirements, the i3-4005U is a 1.7GHz Duel Core, Minimum is a 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo (Intel) or a 2.9GHz Athlon X2 (AMD)
2) Minimum GPU is a 8800GT (Nvidia) or a HD 5600/5700 (ATI/AMD), Not sure Where the Intel HD 4400 iGPU Stacks up to those, Maybe on Par or a Little Worse

My laptop I use for work (HP Probook 6360b) has an i5 2430m (2.5 GHz) with an Intel HD 3000. I have upgraded its RAM to 8 GB (2x4 ) - dual channel. That machine ran the game at min settings and 1024x768 around 20 fps-ish.

My gaming laptop (i7 3610qm, GTX 680m) runs MW:O with Intel HD 4000 at min settings and 720p around 30fps-ish. *just let me activate the GTX again*

For that kind of money you should try to get a nice price laptop from ebay.
Or you check at your local pawnbroker if there is a nice laptop.
Or you purchase a laptop online and after a week you cancel the purchase (depending on where you live; here in Germany that is not a problem), which did a friend of mine a year ago when going off for a week.

1) The rather large difference in IPC between a Core 2 Duo chip and a Haswell chip means the CPU should actually meet the minimum.
2) The 8800GT could easily be 20-30% faster than the integrated HD 4400.

I'd say OP is gonna have a rough time trying to play MWO on that. I'd like at XoticPC in that price range, might find something slightly faster. Or maybe even Newegg's open box section.

Just check yourself at:
http://www.pc-specs....geforce-8800-gt
http://gpu.userbench...Hz/m7722vsm8064

If you want to play MW0 at the natice screen resolution (1600 x 900) of this Toshiba laptop, you will be very disapointed about the low frame rate ( even with everything turnd OFF or set to LOW )
Better get yourself a Laptop with a dedicated GPU for gaming !

I'm Not sure What a 1911 would normally sell for, but if you can Get $800+, I'd Recommend one of these 3, Should do Better than that $550 one:

It's a Stoeger so not among the priciest 1911's...$400 would be scraping the top.

I'm trying to get the specific model number for this one so I can do some checking on it, but it seems more appropriate for the game:

it's a AMD APU so it would be iffy, if I had to Guess considering it's a A8 With a R5 I'd say it's a A8-7100 (1.8GHz), A8 Pro-7150B (1.9GHz), A8-6410 (2GHz), A8-7410 (2.2GHz) or a A8-7200P (2.4GHz), Even though it's AMD, at least it's a Quad Core unlike the Duel Core of the other one you listed, Would Still be integrated graphics though, When it comes to that, Apparently the Intel HD 4400 is Better than the AMD R5: http://gpu.userbench...5/m7668vsm12264

Basically, the CPU Would Meet, or be Closer to Meeting the Requirements, the GPU would be Farther Away from the Requirements Though.

Just Checked CL, if you can Get $460, I'd Highly Recommend getting This one: http://lubbock.craig...5165067585.html

^I'm hitting them up now. I'm not sure how I missed that one. You think it would handle the game easily?

I'm really not looking for stellar performance...I just want something that will let me play it reasonably while I'm out of town.

If you run the settings at the lowest possible configuration, update all drivers, put it on a cooling stand, keep it clean, keep the hard-drive clear of uneccesary crap, lower the OS's graphical bells-and-whistles and try your absolute hardest, you MIGHT get 10-15 FPS.

Maybe.

That thing is f*cking garbage.

I'd Say Medium Settings with Decent Performance,Maybe some Settings on High if your lucky, the GTX 660M is around the Equivalent to a Desktop GTX 550Ti, Maybe a Bit Slower, Maybe Closer to the GTS 450, The i5-3230M is a 2.6GHz Duel Core With Hyper-Threading, With Throttlestop I'd Guess it'd be Similar to a Desktop i3-3210 if it can hit 3.2GHz. Plus the ASUS ROG Series is a Good Brand, One of the Best IIRC.
I Don't Think it's 1080P, according to Amazon for the -DS51-CA Variation, it'll be 1600x900, the 750GB HDD is a SSHD (750GB 7200RPM HDD+8GB SSD) & Won't have a Optical Drive for CD/DVDs: http://www.amazon.ca...r/dp/B00BZSCJ9Q

I can recommend that too ... I play on a MacBook Pro with 650m/Optimus chipset and get good enough framerates with MEDIUM settings at 1440x900 !

If you play with a resolution of at least 1280x768 or better, because of the NEW MECHLAB, this Asus ROG G46VW gaming laptop should allow framerates of 25-60 FPS.
