It should run, but the nVidia Geforce 6150 is a very weak chipset. Personally, I wouldn't bother buying a laptop like that... Save up and purchase your own laptop (or better yet a good desktop).

It will run, but dont expect more then 10FPS on low. I had a laptop just like that a few years back. I would wait and build or buy a better desktop. That video chipset is very weak and it will leech off of your dedicated memory.

If the only reason to buy it is to play games then don't bother. Save your money and invest in a desktop system, laptops are simply not gaming computers. They'll always fall behind their desktop counterparts in that area since they need to cut a few corners here and there in order to conserve power and reduce heat. Plus almost everything is integrated, you won't be able to upgrade much of anything like you can with a desktop system. You're just wasting your money buying a laptop if all you want it for is to play games.

The 6150 is one of the weakest chipsets that will run the game out of the box, but yours is made even weaker by the fact that it's mobile. You will run the game, but don't expect a playable framerate.

If you're getting that laptop for free then take it by all means, but if you're paying anything for it we might be able to suggest alternatives.

Oh also, that computer would play Morrowind fine, if you want.

Definitely save your money laptops simply can't handle a game like oblivion unless it's fairly modern and even then probably not that well.

There are plenty of laptops that can run the game fine, but generally they are more expensive then their desktop counterparts.
