Will Assassins Creed black flag run on this laptop?

Solution
At any decent fps/details? You won't be able to play it at all. With Intel HD Graphics, the game literally won't run for you at all. Your laptop is absolutely terrible sorry to say, OP. That laptop can barely handle games dating back to 2003, let alone AC4. If you want to stick to laptops for gaming, you'll want at least $750 USD or for a more efficient experience, try building a desktop for at least $600 or so. If not, you might be better off picking up a PS4 or an Xbox One.

Dammit. So basically it would lag really badly?
Would I have to replace the graphics card for it to work? /noob

Like I said, you wouldn't even be able to play it. Lag wouldn't even be a question. I owned a similar laptop a way's back and oh man, it feels awful when you play a game from 2003 on medium settings and still get 15 fps. You can't replace graphics cards on a laptop for a huge number of reasons, unless that laptop is super expensive in the first place and meant to have upgradeable parts which that laptop is not. Refer to my above post for what price range to look in if you're trying to do PC gaming.

I'm so glad I posted this before going out any buying the game... Yes, this laptop is pretty shocking :lol: I'm at uni though, so buying a new one just for gaming is a bit of a financial impossibility unfortunately. I think I'll just go back to looking for a cheapish second hand Ps3, which will also mean second hand games can be used :D

Thank you for your answers, you've saved me £30 and a restraining order from the idiot assistant who said told me it would run fine...

Can I Run It doesn't work too well in my opinion. On various laptops, including one I used to own similar to the OP's, Can I Run It just told me inaccurate results. On games that I actually could end up running, a lot of the times even at bearable frame rates, Can I Run It told me I didn't have the necessary minimum requirements. That's because minimum requirements posted by a developer are a best guess, but they're rarely tested or accurate.
