    Most likely not... If you really want to play COD4 then get a desktop - they are way more powerful.

    I wouldnt bother looking at minimum specs for the game...thats for the game to just...work. Not at all be "playable" as you or i see fit.


    Laptops are simply too limited...to get a decent rig, your looking at, at the VERY MININUM $1,200-$1,500 bucks for a "gaming" laptop, much less one to run COD4 well, when you can get 2 or 3x better performance with 1/2 the cost via a desktop.

    COD4 is not realistic for a laptop unless your budget is unlimited.

    BTW, if you get a desktop, don't get a low profile PC. Save yourself the trouble of gay proprietary crap. Get the big case.

    One of my friends has a laptop currently worth £600, and it can't play COD4 very well at all. Realistically, you need to be spending four figures to get a game that plays COD4 at all well. If you don't have that sort of money stick to a gaming desktop.
