Depends upon a number of factors, including what you consider to be "ok". My guess is that it will run fairly well at low-mid settings depending a bit upon the rez of the laptop's screen.

Well im looking at a few cheap laptops specs are like so on most of um

Athlon II Dual-Core 2.1 GHz
4 GB of DDR3 RAM 1066
1366 x 768 RES
HD 4250
Running ok to me would be med/max settings with about 30+ fps
The only game I play is GW. So i just need the min to play gw and browse the web on the go.

I built my GF a computer early this year. It has a HD 4200 in it. She runs GW fine on max with 2 gig of ddr2 800, a quad core AMD and 1680 x 1050 res, little laggy in town tho but thats ok. Can I expect about the same results from one of these laptops?

Thanks.

I can play GW on a GMA 4500HD, minimum settings. It will play nice at medium settings on a HD4250.
