Im not sure if this laptop can handle the eve. The processor is my main concern. Please actually reply.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it ran EVE decently well with the settings jacked down. It's one of the spec-friendliest games I've ever run.


EDIT: Except for clouds. Wish they'd get rid of clouds.

I would like to officially confirm that I am actually replying to your post, as this authentic actual reply meets all currently accepted definitions of the word 'reply'.

Is there anything else I can help you with sir?

Intel GMA HD graphics so, if memory serves, no, it cannot run EVE. Get something with an AMD/ATI or Nvidia graphics chip specifically and ensure it supports Shader Model 3.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

I play two clients on a very simular notebook. FPS is not outstanding, usually 15 to 20 and there is sometimes a second or two delay on loading textures as you leave station. However, this is VERY playable.

The only thing is, you WILL need to get more memory. Mine came with a paltry 2GB. But, I upped it to 8 GB fairly cheaply.

Now, notebook check will say it cannot run eve, but notebook check lies.

Oh yeah.. mine cost about 300 USD new!

edit: MY SPECs which are very simular

Intel Celeron B800 dual @ 1.5 ghz
Win 7
Intel HD Graphics
8 GB memory (came with 2 GB)

My 11inch MacBook Air runs EVE very well... I turn the settings right down...

I wouldn't want to be getting in a fast and furious frig fight with it, but it handles my activities while I'm at work... (Mining, and making the boss think I have an awesome screensaver)

Just gets very very hot...

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.
