    If it's running an Intel integrated chip... probably not.

    If you mean the Macbook Pro, in which I think the MBP 2010 had a 320M, possibly, but it would be too laggy to play. It may run though. You can always try it

    No , I mean the MBA.
    I've seen a video on YouTube of it on a MBA 11" running , but not sure if this is trolling or untruthful . The 2010 has a 320M in it too tho. The reason I ask is its on sale on steam now and I think it would be cool to have it on such a light computer.

    It might run okay on low settings. Obvious no for maxed settings.

    It might "run", but whether or not it is acceptable depends on how bad your eyesight is.

    To me, it seems like it would bring more frustration than cool.

    You could with mods possibly. I would get the 1.4 patch + mods to optimize it + low settings + turn shadows off (.cfg files) + 800x600 and you could possibly reach 30fps then. Itd probably look similar to Oblivion on lowest but itd still be the same game mechanics

    Sounds like a plan. I'll get it I think, given what you've said, and the generally yes responses.

    Will upload a vid to YouTube and post here when I've done for those interested

    To be honest, HD3000 is worthless on macbook air and other devices that include a HD3000

    youtube is your best friend imo.
    There are multiple reports.
    Some people got it running on air 13 around 20-25fps on medium-high with low shadows or something along these lines.

    I can run on E-350 at 1024x576 (yeah yeah) low settings at about 20 fps. So you'd probably see better performance considering the HD 3000 is better than the 6310 by about 50%, both CPU and GPU.
