On order from xoticpc, likely won't be here in time for the founder's package but should make it here some time after launch. I'm going to add a second HD myself, either a 7200rpm 500gb drive or a Crucial M4 256 SSD.

I'm stuck with my current laptop, which isn't particularly powerful, and the internet connection is kinda limited. But hopefully I can have it work with little lag.

I wouldn't get a SSD as a secondary drive..Get something big like 750GB - 1TB 7200rpm.. And I also hear good things about the "BIG FOOT" wireless card upgrade.

I'm stuck with my MacBookPro late 2011 15"

It runs Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2 just fine... not to mention MW3 and BF3.

It even runs Elder Scrolls V in the virtual environment just fine.

Once I get in Beta, I'll be able to find out if this baby has what it takes to run MW:O or if I'm going to need to invest in another PC

Gaming on a laptop is like gaming on a mac, overpriced and underperforming. gaming on a mac laptop is just silly.

A laptop is all I have at the moment, due to me being far from home for school, and not wanting to have to lug a desktop around when I move again. But it's a darn nice laptop. Sure, I could probably have gotten the same specs for half the price with a desktop, but again, portability is a major issue.

Yeah, I usually use my lap top, which is a stock Dell Inspiron. Hoping I can get the game to work on this so I can play it on the road and when I'm out and about places.

Suggest getting a gaming quality external keyboard and mouse to use on any laptop you try gaming on. You are handicapping yourself, risking damage to laptop keyboard and screen if you don't.

He can run elderscrolls V in his virtual OS under his/her MAC OS, so there is no problem. The game can still be played.
