Hardware & Technical Computer Build to run Elite Dangerous
- Thread starter Pazmeister
- Start date
If it has the A8 5550M processor that will be about as good as you'll get for the kind of money you're talking about. It should be able to cope with the game on low settings.
Some of the replys here are misleading and do not answer the OPs question.
If you want to run elite long term on a laptop then you will indeed need a dedicated GPU and a decent CPU.
As a short term solution, Elite will run on a 'basic' laptop - the settings and performance just won't be very good. Expect low detail and FPS.
Anything with an i3 and Intel HD graphics 4000+ should run the game, but like I said, don't expect great performance.

I play on a Dell inspiron 17" with a core i 3 a Intel HD4000 and 8 Gig Ram on Win10 for 450€ preinstalled was Win8.
It gets a bit hot and loud somtimes but it Works

No that's a Beema processor in that, the graphics are too weak to run the game playably. You want a cpu from the Trinity or Richland line for better graphics.

Is this similar to the lenovo g505s specs?
umm i think my a8 6600 is about on par with an i3, but the intergrated gpu is equal to a 7750 i think, it natively crossfires with a 6670. and my r7 250 is basically a newer version of the 6670 a low power card decent clock speeds for 65w little bit less powerful than a 7770. although it has mantle ofc because its an r7.
i wouldn't pick up this rig if it was over £250, i mean you can get i5 bundles these days pretty cheap and those processors are great for games.
this is basically what i got off ebay, not this exact offer but a similar one by the same company, note the power supply is a no name thing and definately worth replacing along with the stock cooler. but anyway.

i already had a monitor so it was a steal for me at the time. shop around might find a better deal. the only problem i have with it is with a dedicated gpu it blocks the other pci slot so matx mobos not that great if you want a network card.

It'll run the game on low settings easily enough. You might even be pleasantly suprised.

ah crap you want a laptop, well good luck with that, i can't recommend any because well, they are just over priced if you want it for gaming, laptops and gaming in the same sentence, blasphemy!
honestly speaking that one you picked should run it just fine i don't see any reason why it wouldn't plenty of ram, it has an r5 might force you into low settings. problem with laptops over desktops they sacrifice a lot for compact and mobility. you end up paying more for an overall less powerful system. for a decent gaming laptop your looking at sinking over £500 to get a laptop with the same performance as a £300 desktop.

No it's slower than the 4550M.
That's the graphics on the 4550M, the 7640G.
The best thing to do is search youtube for that - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=7640g+gaming
As you can see, it's more than capable of running games on low settings. Elite won't be a problem mostly but it might get a bit slow in asteroids and stations.

Went for the lenovo a8-4500 for 250 quid, will report for whoever interested
Ah, isn't that the prototype for the new Xbox 2?
The R7 M260 GPUs are excellent for their cash: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-R7-M260.122208.0.html
Top purchase by the OP, performance for £250 is a bargain!
