I wonder what the minimum specs are for this.

I hope I can at least handle it on low settings.

A classic quote from people who do their gaming on a laptop.

Well, I can play Battlefield 3 on High-Ultra setting.

Your laptop is a bit better than mine (i'm running a i7-2630QM 2.0/2.9, 6770M 2gb GDDR5, 8 GB Ram DDR3 800 MHz), so you can probably run it on Ultra at a stable 30 FPS. 

Did your laptop come with any kind of throttling program so your i7 is at a constant turbo-boost multiplier (so you can get a constant 3.0 - 3.3 Ghz)?. If it didn't, get Throttlestop 5.0, trust me it makes all the difference when playing CPU intensive games.

No idea, but the box says i7-3610QM w/Turbo Boost.

It's the same as mine, an Ivy bridge i7. That Turbo Boost technology is unreliable when it comes to heavy gaming, since the processor is always throttling and slowing down, giving you inconstant FPSs. Throttlestop keeps your processor at a constant clock frequency by adjusting the clock multiplier (for example, I keep mine at a constant 2,8 Ghz while gaming).

Of course, keeping the processor at constant speeds will increase it's temperature rapidly, so it's pretty advisable to have a refrigerating base to avoid overheating.
