Rani,

I can't speak for your laptop, but I've run G2 on my laptop and it runs like garbage relative to the performance I get on my desktop system. On the laptop, 1024x768 resolution is max and G2 runs jerky. It's so bad that I literally cannot hover a heli. Planes are flyable, but poor. On my desktop system I run at 1600 x 1200 resolution with smooth performance.

My recommendation: Don't plan on running G2 on your laptop. You will not be happy with it. Even if the video works OK, which I doubt, the screen is too small to get good resolution.
