Looking here the GT 240M GPU will allow you to play on low/medium settings.

They say:

These cards should run Skyrim, with the right tweaks you could probably get them to look as good as the console version.

Runs well on the machine in my sig. Obviously not all maxed out.

BF3 plays well too

This may seem obvious and/or off topic but say you wanted to share a save game between your lappy and your desktop. Would the savegame be compatible if you had say a load of graphical update mods on the desktop, like HD textures etc, but not on the laptop?

Go to futuremark.com/games and on that website there is a tool to check your system against games and gives you a general idea...

I use this all the time for my laptop as I'm a laptop gamer at the moment and its important to find out if a game will run before spending the cash..

I got Skyrim for my laptop and I've got an ATI 5650M and skyrim at 1600 x 900 meduim /high 2 x FSAA runs at average 35 ish fps which is better looking and on par performance as an xbox360...

I find provided you can meet the min spec and get half way between recommended specs then any game on PC looks as good as the console versions...

I took a chance with Batman Arkham city and it ran perfectly fine in DX9 mode on my laptop at 1600 x 900 meduim /high settings...

Enjoy Skyrim..!!
