    Me and a friend want to play Diablo 3 and I'm not sure if our laptops will run the game. My laptop is the laptop in the signature.
    My friends laptop is a hp dv4-2045dx with the following specs:
    Product Specifications - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

    I don't care if I have to turn off the eye candy I just want it to play smoothly for the most part.

    So will either or both of these laptops be able to play Diablo 3 on the lowest setting at least?
    Thanks.

    Not enough GPU horsepower.

    Those two are significantly worse than the Intel's IGPUs, which while supported, are not very smooth even with everything off.

    I am not trying to wum but both your laptops should be more designed for games like the old need for speed games. Any game in last 4 years should run low but at very low fps unless it is a basic game. My 4 year old mid range laptop graphics card is around 5x more powerful and diablo 3 should run perfectly on mine but the gpu's you have are more for older games and probably watching 1080p videos.
