    It is always best to post links to a computer you want input on so we can find the full specs. The name doesn't help much as they often come in many different versions.

    From the specs you posted I see that it has integrated graphics which means that it will use about half of your system RAM. This mean that you end up with too little RAM. Always look for at least 8GB RAM. Also the CPU is poor for gaming. Look for an I5 or better or AMD Ryzen.

    Please do not multipost. Stick to one thread.

    Like the other you asked about this is inadequate.

    @dyedye15  The AMD A series do not have dedicated video memory and may not run this game correctly. To avoid issues I recommend getting a computer with a dedicated video chip.

    I understand but this laptop is different to the other one since they have different specs.

    Not in any significant way. You are welcome to ask about other possible laptops in the same thread.
