Just ordered a laptop for RealFlight G5.

224-83741Vostro 3500 Laptop Config 14
317-38131New 2010 Intel Core i5-430M (2.26GHz, Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz, Dual Core/4T, 3MB/L3) Vostro
317-381513GB,DDR3,1066MHZ, 2 DIMM Vostro
320-89151Nvidia Geforce 310M, 512MB Graphics Vostro
342-99651320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive Vostro

You have to have a 512 mb graphics card, 2 -4 GB ram and dual core processor no matter if its a laptop or desktop.

Hope that helps...

I hope G5 doesn't have the laptop video problems that plagued G4.5.

If you want to be sure contact Great Planes and ask. Do not ask at KE or RF.

Just went thru the same excercise about 3 weeks ago. I now own a Dell Studio XPS 8100, Intel Core i5-650 processor ( 4MB Cache,3.2 GHz ), 8 GB DDR3 ****M at 1333 MHz - 4x2 GB.
Video card is a Radion 5450 ( 1GB ).

On a 20" HD 1600 x 900 monitor, It produces the most brilliant, and smooth running edition of Real Flight G-5 that I have viewed anywhere ! .......... Buy it factory direct. The sales people and support people are great.

When I bought my G4.5 last year I talked to Dell telling them the system requirements. They are the ones who told me thatwhat I had wouldwork.
