Hi, I haven't played PC games in quite a while, and I was wondering how well my current laptop would be able to handle current games (I had Skyrim in mind particularly). Without further ado:

CPU: Intel Core i5 430M (2.26 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Memory: 4 GB

If I can run Skyrim in all its awesomeness I'll probably get it on PC; if there could be framerate issues, I'll probably opt for 360 instead.

You probably won't be able to run it on max settings, but you'll be able to run it on reasonably high settings. Not sure if it'll look better on the 360 or not.

That + skyrim nexus makes getting the 360 version a pretty stupid idea right now, unless your lazy and have no appreciation of the value of PC gaming (pressuming your not tbh)

You are going to be able to play Skyrim, but not at great settings. To be honest I would run it on the xbox for yourself, the xbox is probably going to run better for yourself.

The mods do seem to be a huge plus for PC, plus I'd imagine the load screens would be faster than on 360 (if not installed), which always annoyed me with Oblivion. The only downside I can see is that there's a small OCD part of me that wants the 360 achievements Thanks for the tips, guys!
