I was thinking about getting a new PC desktop to play the game on, but I really don't have the room in my living quarters for a full-sized tower and I won't for another year. So I started looking at gaming laptops and came across this Asus:

Would something like this run the game well if I hooked it up to my monitor through the HDMI port? I'm so out of touch with PC specs these days that I have no idea what it good, bad, acceptable, etc. for the games coming out.

It would run it very well.
Core i7 + Geforce 560

So there wouldn't be any graphics card driver issues or some other crap preventing me from playing the game with this kind of rig? I get paranoid when it comes to PCs and video card drivers. :p

Just make sure to install the latest drivers as soon as you have it in your hands and you'll be fine. =P

Games these days are mostly tailor-made for lower end machines.

The question can be answered as follows 99 percent of the time:

Q: Was your machine built with components that are a year old or less?

If yes, it will run the game easily.

(I've seen way too many of these types of threads =x)
