My best guess would be it will run, but if your playing at 1080P Either Low or Medium, But 720P should be good a High, it asks for a gtx 260 or 4890 and your GT240M isn't close to a gtx260.

But It should work. Not good with mobile GPU's though.

I'd Say Don't Try at 1080P unless you want to play at the lowest settings and maybe 30FPS, 720P though should be good.

Maybe wait a day or two, for some benchmarks, because the game could be completely unoptimized.

also does your CPU have a turbo speed?
because 1.6 is pretty slow

Okay I looked up the M15X and I found that the CPU was a 920, not a 720 (diffirent Model) and you have a gtx260M. Am I correct or what? Because All the reviews say these specs.

(i was looking to check if it have turbo boost)

Please correct me if I'm looking at the wrong model.

*Edit
I Found one with the I7 720QM but it still had a gtx260M so you might be confused on your GPU.

Yea The GTX260M is more like a GT250, more or less (Mobile GPU's are alot less powerful compared to desktop ones)

since it's a GTX260M thats just a big Plus Right there,

Though I couldn't find out if it has a turbo boost setting though, It is a Quad Core, with Hyperthreading which helps (hyperthreading bassically doubles amount of cores, but they aren't as fast)

All of your Specs are Good, But I'm Not to sure for the CPU, but the GPU is good.

Oh Yea!, I Saw that the resolution of the Laptop was 1600x900 not 1920x1080. correct my if I'm wrong (right click desktop and change resolution and check what the highest it goes to)

anyways 1600x900 Should be good at Medium-High, With maybe No AA.

That's a Nice Laptop there though.
