Its called the Dell inspiron 15r special edition
it has a 3rd gen i7-3612qm processor ( 6mb cache up to 3.1 ghz )
and a radeon hd 7730 2gb
8gm of ram DDR3

Im interseted in it because its pretty cheap and i dont really want to spend 2000 on a laptop.

What kind of settings can i run with skyrim.

Heres the whole list of specs

One thing I would be concerned with would be the size of the screen. At only 15" (38.1cm) it might be a bit small. Specs are decent however performance-wise.

Thnx for the Advise. The screen size is 15.6"
But the screen is full 1080p hd, the laptop im on right now is 17.6 but i need something smaller, for college. Thatrs why im looking at something like a 15, but still powerful and not overpriced.
