    Hi all!
    I got a new computer for school and stuff and did not realize that my desktop (which had FSX running on it) was kind of dying. I love playing FSX and was wondering if I could play FSX on my laptop? I was worried about the graphics card.

    Specs:
    Intel i5-480m 2.66ghz
    4gb RAM
    Intel HD Graphics
    500 GB HD

    ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED! THANKS :D

    My friends Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 does Flight Sim X at low, but its not smooth 60 fps.
    (FSX engine is horrid)

    I guess you might play it better, do note that the Arrendale IGP is not as fast as the one in Sandy Bridge.
    Luckily FSX aint that fps dependant.

    The Intel IGP would be what I am worried about. It should run it, but everything on low settings most likely.

    wait if you already have the computer just install your FSX disk an try it. Or try the demo
