I have this laptop: http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=V0Y89EA&opt=ABU&sel=NTB
I want to buy one these games:
https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/buy/nfs-rivals-2014-/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition
https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/buy/nfs-hot-pursuit-2011-/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition
As you can see from the system requirements of the game and the spec of my laptop, they are obviously different. Not sure if the laptop spec meets the minimum or recommended system requirements of the game.
In your opinion, will the game work on my laptop? I know from previous experience, some of my friends who buy games and ending up not loading or installing, as the PC/laptop they have don't meet the games system requirements.... Don't want to waste money if the game doesn't work, due to not meeting the requirements.

Processor: Intel Quad-Core CPU or AMD Six Core CPU
and the spec for the laptop?
Intel® Core™ i5-6200U with Intel® HD Graphics 520 (2.3 GHz, up to 2.8 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)Save a Rachael

Thanks for your reply.
Probably I won't meet the recommended system requirements for the game. How about the minimum requirements in terms of processor and graphics card?0 -
are you looking at the requirements on their website? https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/buy/nfs-rivals-2014-/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition#details
the second link looks ok https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/buy/nfs-hot-pursuit-2011-/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition#detailsSave a Rachael

Yes I did look at their website regarding the system requirements. Just wanted to know which one will work on the laptop in my post.0

You should be ok for both of those
Hot Pursuit will probably run better as it needs less spec than the other

I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
The graphics card only just meets the minimum spec so it'l run, but not all that well0
