I can't help but think that that laptop is going to struggle a bit due to the low processor. While i5 are technically great. These are the "Low" voltage versions so this may not be be as strong as a standard I5. 

 

The other portion of is is the video card.   I always go to this site to research my video cards for laptops.

You can kinda see how well SL is going to run based on how well it runs regular games. Keep in mind that SL can burry even the highest end computers. So I suspect youll probably enjoy High with no shadows probably 20 to 40fps.

This laptop is a really good deal for an inexpensive gaming laptop

At least it has a dedicated GPU and not running off the chipset like most laptops. So that is a bonus for that.

Personally I would never buy another laptop or even a prebuilt PC..best bang for the buck..pick up an ATX tower and start slapping the components you want in it.
