Hi, ive never really played any games on pc and recently i bought a new laptop and have found out it can handle some games but im still unsure of what games it can handle. now im thinking of buying this game for my laptop through steam, this is my laptop http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=6454580#!tab=specs.

Thanks for the help.

It wouldn't run perfectly and you'd probably have to use a low resolution but it should run well enough to be playable. I got it running on my PC and it has worse specs than yours.

ah thanks, in the past on my old laptop i downloaded a game which then destroyed the hard drive, would this do the same to my new laptop? 

Thanks again.

I doubt the game destroyed your hard drive, probably just bad luck =).  Hard drives have random life cycles (i work and repair computers in a retail store) and I have seen a hard drive die in less than a months time.  If you move the laptop around a lot while its on and you have a regular hard drive installed (Not a solid state drive) then that can shorten its life over time.  Also if it is reading the hard drive while you are moving and you almost drop it or something and it gets jerked, then that can card damage to the hard drive as well.  

 

Not saying that will happen the first time if the laptop got jerked, but it is possible.  but the long of the short of this is the south park game would not really use up nearly as much resources as other games of this time period.  It can be played on a lot of machines with low specs and still be playable =)  that laptop like posted above should be able to be playable but maybe on a lower resolution.
