Could this Run Skyrim?

Thinking about getting a new laptop, how well do you think this laptop could run Skyrim?

i strongly advise you not to buy it.
Its specs are not good. True it can run decently for skyrim, but look, its HP. HP laptops have bad overheating, and i own one HP laptop, so i know. You are probably going to have low laptop lifespan if you want to run skyrim, since the gaming temperature for hp dv series is very bad. I ended up turning down the Powerplay feature in ATI catalyst because the GPU overheated, and believe me i did all the tweaks i could find.
Right now, my average gaming temperature is 70 deg, which is alright for a laptop but slightly dangerous.

If you want to play skyrim, get a desktop. If you really need a laptop, get a better brand like Asus. HP is not worth it.
