The thing is that SC2 looks almost as good on Low settings. And it doesn't need 30fps to look and play smoothly, more like 15-20.

And on that, 4v4 is smooth on my five-year-old Intel integrated graphics on my laptop. So essentially any computer made in the last 5 years can play SC2 to its full gameplay potential.

Specs of that laptop?

You can guess by its age... it's probably a Pentium M or a Core 2 Solo, at stretch... and integrated graphics aren't anything to write home about.

Back in 2006 I got my laptop with 2GB of RAM, a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, and 256MB of VRAM in the form of a Radeon X1300.

I have no idea if that can run Starcraft 2 but I have sincere doubts about maxing it
