I have studio xps 1645 laptop. Specs:

Intel Core i7 Q720 @ 1.60GHz

6.00 GB of RAM

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 Graphics Card.

I know it's not a bad computer, but I also know it's not specifically made for gaming. Do you guys think I'll be able to run Skyrim well or am I lacking some essential hardware?

Impossible to know for sure, until we get given some specs.

However, I'm fairly confident your PC could run it. Naybe not so well, but yeah, I'd say it would run. :shrug:

No real need to make a topic just for this question when there are similar threads where it can be asked as well; or we'd be swamped with 'will my be able to run Skyrim' threads
