Well, I would rather know before buying the laptop I have my eye on. So far everything that I've been able to dig up on these aspects seems to check out, so...

Only these Celeron processors can use them. all Gemini Lake.

Using the details provided: i doubt you could run it on minimum properly, with 6gb of memory shared between windows 11, the various bits of software running in the background and the slow ass uhd 600, there won't be enough ram to run it convincingly on minimum specs anyway.

The minimum specs also doesn't cover how much processing power is needed to run windows 11, the bloatware in the background, keyloggers and any other legal spyware, you'd be lucky to get half of the 2ghz to play with for the game itself. let alone any other background programmes like av software.

i'm not convinced your laptop can run this game.

going with probably not and if it does it won't be good.

I'm not sure that is a good idea. With an integrated graphics card and only 6GB RAM your performance won't be good and it's most likely your laptop would overheat, not to mention you might damage it.

I played the game on my 3 years old laptop with Nvidia MX 230 2GB and 8 GB RAM and even that laptop overheated, especially when it was warmer outside. Now I play on Nvidia RTX 3050 4GB/ 16GB RAM and that is very smooth, very nice.

But it also all depends on your budget if you are about to buy a laptop. And you can always check the minimum requirements for each game you would like to play.

try go for a laptop with a dedicated graphics card if you can, that would significantly help your cause. extra storage would help as well since your are shopping around for a laptop.

Unfortunately, I have an extremely tight budget, so a laptop specifically designed for gaming is out of the question. So I have to do more research to find what I can in order to make the game work within my budget.

I am wondering since it wasn't mentioned...are you locked to laptop for particular reason?

If not then see if you can get a PC instead. For the same price you might get better specs than all the laptops you might find rn in your price sector.

p.s. assuming that is that you have other stuff already like pc mouse, keyboard, display...

Unfortunately, I am stuck to laptop, and laptops with dedicated graphic cards are far outside my price range, so I'm stuck with integrated chips.

laptops tend to be cheaper. obviously this user is looking at a lower end laptop sort of £300-£400 range. i dunno if Nvidia still do dedicated cards like the MX series, that would have been a bit better than the uhd crap and fit right into the range the OP is looking at.

If i were in the OP's position i'd consider an AMD buisness laptop, least you have half decent radeon graphics compared to the uhd crap.

You need a more ram because Windows 11 uses 4gb ram already and only 2gb free is so swtor won't working only 2gb ram because 6gb is recommend.

I know. That's why the one I'm looking at now has 8GB RAM.

If your laptop is fitted with SSD it's a little difference between 6G RAM and 8G ram. The problems can come from CPU and GPU which from your description are a bit low.
Have a look at this sites
for CPU: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
for GPU: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
Locate your products and see if your CPU have a CPU mark over 2500 and GPU over 500. And that is for minimal graphic settings.

Just in case you wonder, I use to play SWTOR on my laptop set up for intel GPU (Intel HD 4000, Intel Core i5-3230M and 6GB RAM) to avoid overheating and it is playable (not so much in group operations, gsf or wz).
Use my specs to compare performances with your laptop.

Thanks. So far, everything looks good, my laptop's Intel UHD 600 graphics card can be clocked slightly higher than the HD ones, so I assume that means I'm good there, and I have 16 GB of HDD and a whole terabyte of storage, so that's good. My only real concern is the CPU processor, which is an Intel Celeron N4020, which I am admittedly concerned about, although I did see a video of someone playing the game with that processor, but the graphics were set to Very Low, which is no longer an option.
