    Hi everyone I'm new here and don't have much computer knowledge so I thought I'd ask my questions about SC2 here. First off I would like to know if anyone has the same type of laptop I do and if SC2 will run on it, this is my laptop. Next I've read that you must connect to the internet to install and once every 30 days to re-activate SC2. I have internet but only plan on playing the single player campaign. Will I have to connect to the internet and be logged in every time I want to play or just once every 30 days? I also plan on installing this onto my laptop and my desktop computer, is that possible and will I have to have the disc in to play it? And finally one last question, is there anytype of small demo or program that I can download that will basically test to see if and how SC2 will run on my laptop?
    Thanks for the help,
    Jason

    The graphics chip in this notebook is an Intel GMA 950, which is not sufficient to play SC2 at reasonable frame rates.

    After the initial installation, where you bind your SC2 license to your battle.net account, you can always play the singeplayer game in offline mode. At least, I have not heard anything about the game refusing to work if you do not re-activate it every 30 days. But I'm not 100% sure about this, so maybe someone else knows better, or you could ask Blizzard.

    You have almost the exact same laptop I am running with bro. You can get it working, but it will be slow... unplayablely slow. (I have a P205-S7469)
