I have Realflight G4 on my desktop and it runs quite well, (Actually G4 upgraded online to 4.5).

I was not able to get it to run on my 3 year old HP Laptop due to hardware deficiencies. Now my laptop has expired and I would like to be able to run the sim on the new laptop I'm preparing to buy.

Anybody having any success running G4 or higher on a laptop and what processor and video do you have?

Will an Intel i5 and 512MB of dedicated video memory be enough?

I don't want to spend an extra 3 or 4 hundred dollars on the high-end hardware only to find out it won't do the job.

Thanks for your input,

Rick
