Looks quite good to me... Roll Eyes

....

But how about trying FS 2004 first? That will run wonderfully on your Laptop at maximum programme settings
FSX may involve some programme tweaking (downgrading?) to get it to run successfully on the Laptop.

FS2004 AND FSX and you have the best of both Worlds!... Smiley

I run FSX, FS9, SF2, Empire Total War, Napoleon Total War, Il-2 Sturmovik 1946, Axis and Allies, and World of Tanks all on a laptop just fine.

Im running a great laptop, Lenovo Y570; Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor( 2.2GHz 1333MHz 6MB) Nvidia 555M graphics, 8GB Memory/RAM 1TB of space. Epic computer, You just have to keep it plugged in constantly.

It runs FSX like NOTHING. So yeah Laptops are great for running FSX.

It seems like just one choice...

Go ahead and buy FSX...then see how it performs!

Then enter the; "World of Tweaking" to get it to run to your satisfaction... Shocked

...!

One thing is for sure...I wont cause World War III!....
...(maybe?)... Roll Eyes

..!

Paul...My 'Puter Spec below runs FS 2004 beautifully, (but struggles with FSX!).... Wink
