Specs should come this week. You should be able to run it in medium or higher depending on resolution.

This topic makes me confused. I can't find any big difference between that laptop and mine. Why people still says he is able to run it with medium or high when I got answered on "unoffial will my pc run skyrim" topic that I can't run it with my laptop? If anyone there is understanding more about the laptops and can help me to solve this riddle, can I run it?
In this link are the details of my laptop.

Because that laptop isn't half of OP's laptop. You won't be able to run it on minimum graphics, sorry.
Its all to do with the graphics card. I also don't advise buying compaq's again, they get serious heating issues after a few months.

How can it be? I mean my graphic card have even more graphic memory than his. Why more memory is less power?

Just because it got a lot of RAM doesn't mean it's fast. And speed is what matters. It's like saying a car would be very fast just because it's large, but it's the engine that matters.

Anyway, let's use this thread; http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1242901-unofficial-will-my-pc-run-skyrim-discussion-34/
