integrated graphics and a Intel Core i7 3610QM 2.3 GHz processor. if you turn the settings down to the minimum, it will probably get 5 to 10 frames/second. less in the open world, maybe more indoors.

Nah man it's got a 0GB SSD. It should be fine at medium for like 50 fps

i play the game with an Intel HD 3000 .. i set it to 800x600 some settings like texture,distant object detail , and radial blur @ high .. everything else on med. , turned on FXAA .. and Anisotropy @ 16x (it doesn't seem to lower performance) and Anti Aliasing OFF ...
800 x 600 isn't as terrible looking as you think since my max res. is only 1366x768
i get 20-35 fps in Skyrim mostly @ 25fps ... and 35-50fps @ dungeons/caves
. you might wanna check my vid. too I

The HD4000 is one of the better integrated GPU's, and will outperform some discrete GPU's. My brother played Skyrim on a laptop with a weaker CPU to boot.

Skyrim is wonderfully optimized, so it will play, and at playable framerates too. But it will look like bad.

PS: You're being trolled about the "0Gb SSD". An SSD is a hard drive that works like a thumb drive. This laptop doesn't have an SSD - it has a regular hard disk drive, somebody got lazy when they wrote the ad. Even if it had an SSD, it wouldn't let you run it at higher settings, it would just load faster when starting the game, saving, loading saves, and moving to new areas.

You are better off forking out a bit more and getting something better.
