Can This Laptop Run TF2?
The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series

I've compared the specks with TF2's system requirements and it looked OK to me, but I'm not sure.

Not as long as you keep the fan clear.

correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard that the system requirements are somewhat outdated

I also heard that Source games could work on any system.

The cheapest one.
It'll probably struggle a lot and you'll most likely get a low frame rate, but your best bet is to just download it and see how it runs.

The game is a decade old, and has actually jad graphical downgrades over the years, so it should be fine.

If you're refering to that Crobcat video the graphical changes aren't much, some for the better, and if you were to compare old tf2 vs present tf2, there are huge changes in graphics. Also since the game is a decade old it runs like sh!t since it's a coding mess with all its updates, if they were to fix this the game would run as smooth as butter. Just run the game and see what happens.

They just picked the worst laptops ... You can buy a decent office laptop for 400$ that can run TF2.
Source: I have a 400$ laptop that runs TF2 in fullHD on medium settings.

Just saying but you can run anything on TF2, we refer to these devices as toasters. (almost anything anyway)

yes, it wil work because that's what i use.


i haven't modded the laptop at all either.

just make sure you play on a hard surface so the fan can vent the heat generated. it CAN and WILL overheat if you leave it on cloth or carpet for too long
