Laptop powerful enough?

Hi there,

Not a PC gamer but I kindly assist your help with this matter. I was quite tempted by the walking dead game offer in the steam sale, albeit only using a cheapo laptop with integrated graphics. The minimum specs for the game say a graphics card with 500mb ram / not recommended for integrated graphics (which is what my laptop has).

I assume this would run like turd on my laptop, if at all?

Thanks!

Play it on an iPad if you have one.

Depends on the integrated graphics. Is it a newer laptop with Intel HD 4000 (Inbuilt CPU Graphics) or is it one with Intel GMA X4500 (Inbuilt board graphics) for example?

If its a cheapo I am guessing no.

Actually you'd be surprised how many cheap laptops still just run on HD4000 (or the other CPU based ones) anyway. The question depends on the age of the laptop more, unless it was incredibly cheap due to it being an old model...

looking at various youtube videos, looks like it will run fine on intel hd4000 at pretty much maxed out settings at 1366x768, runs at lower settings on older intel hd graphics. so yeah just check if you have intel hd gfx, if so it will run and be playable. you might find a gma4500mhd (not to be confused with hd4000 which is much faster ofc) or older will struggle and probably wont be playable.
gma 4500 is also known as express chipset series 4 or x4500.

i believe any i3 even the older ones will be fine, thers a video of someone playing it at 30fps on an i3 370m
