the configuration looks good .... but you should opt at least for an NVIDIA graphic card; GT 1xx, 2xx, 3xx series (or even higher) or RADEON 5xxx series, the card listed below is standard, not suitable really to enjoy second life fully.... *meows*

The Intel HD graphics is slow, slow, slow. It'll get around 15fps on low settings which is not the kind of performance I'd want from a brand new machine.

See if you can get a laptop with an Nvidia chip in it. Like the GT 425M / GT 540M or better if you can.
