The 1GHz processor with only 1MB of L2 is kinda weak, IDK how well that would handle Eve. Other than that the rest should be ok though.

Actually on a L555 right now. turn down the graphics settings and you should be allright.

90% of of the time my posts are about something I actually find interesting and want to learn more about. Do not be alarmed.

I've been dual-boxing EVE on my laptop (sorry no specs) for over a year now. It actually runs great, only trouble I get is when one (or both) my toons are in Jita or when I join some lag-fest PvP battles.

And the whole CQ made my laptop a personal lap heater when they released it, luckely it's disabled now. (Yeah to ship spinning)

Im using a gateway gaming model laptop, a 7811fx, which has a nvidia gts9800 with 512mb dedicated video ram, a duo core centrino at 2.2 ghz... and I play eve fine on med settings. I ahve used 256mb video dedicated cards with 2-3 gig cpus and it just doesnt cut it... thought Id throw that in there for ya. I picked this laptop up for 600 bucks used. It has a 1920x1200 hdmi monitor too. the graphics are sick in eve, and this laptop gets me the near min performance.

I would defiantly suggest making sure any laptop that you plan to game on has a video card with dedicated memory.
