As long as the laptop meets all requirements, yes.

The brand doesn't matter nearly as much as the actual specs. If it's not powerful enough, all you're going to get out of VR is being sick.

Jesus, well, thanks for the help.

VR needs a lot of rendering power, or you are on a fast track to puketown, population: you!

Do you really need a VR capable laptop? VR doesn't really travel well, so if you don't do a lot of demanding gaming outside of home consider getting a desktop for gaming and you can get a cheaper laptop and do in home streaming

I went to the Vive website and tested my laptop to see if I could run it. It said my computer reaches all the minimum recommended requirements.

So you already have a VR capable laptop? I'm confused at what you are asking for in this thread. Are you looking to buy a VR capable laptop or are you trying to see if your's is capable? Please link or list the computer's specs

Well, I'm planning to get a HTC Vive VR headset, and I needed to know if my laptop could handle it, and it appears it does.

What's the actual laptop specs? Meeting the minimums for VR doesn't mean you'll get a pleasant experience in an actual game.

Ok well if you want confirmation from us you should list its specs otherwise we have no clue as there is a range of Open laptops some VR capable and some that aren't.
