I have a question, I just got around to playing the starter edition of diablo, and although on the "can you run it" site it states that I do not meet the minimum requirements, it runs perfectly on my laptop. so I was wondering, since I just ordered diablo 3 with reaper of souls included through gamestop and I am able to play the starter edition itll work fine on my laptop rite?

mcatz,

It's hard to say really.

It's the same game so basically, anything you've managed to experience so far will be the same, but as you progress in the game and play with others in multiplayer, you'll find the game can require more performance than what you may have available with your laptop when you encounter areas with a high concentration of monsters and you and the others are firing off all sorts of spells at the same time.

Post your dxdiag info and we can give you better idea of what to expect.

You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

mcatz,

I wouldn't expect it to hold up to playing Diablo III in the later stages where there's a lot going on. It's limited heavily by just having the integrated Intel video. This laptop is mainly for use with web browsing, email, and text editing, the sort of things a student might need to do a lot, but it's not meant for gaming.

Doomsinger,

Dxdiag doesn't indicate an Nvidia device to be present. I saw his model listed as possibly having the 740M too but if it's not there in dxdiag, I have to assume it doesn't have one.

mcatz,

Yes. That's one of the pluses to developing for consoles. Everyone has the same hardware so it's easier to know what to expect.
