I recently got a new laptop, nothing special, but it does have some high specs. I went on Can You Run It to see if I can Run Call of Duty 4(Fav game ever) and it Says excellent for everything except graphics..so i failed. Does this mean It wont even play the game, or ill be really laggy?

Here you go. This is for black ops, however, but it still shouldnt matter as you can see the specs

What are the specs for your computer? Does it have a dedicated card? Sounds like your laptop is using the on-board graphics instead of the dedicated card, if it has one.
Also, be warned the PC version has huge problems with it, and you'll probably experience lag anyways.

You have a Nvidia card right? Probably something with Optimus? I'm guessing all of this because I had the same issue. Eventually after a couple updates, can you run it finally detected my card instead of it being a integrated intel one. Your specs are fine, that site is just super buggy.
If you don't have a Nvidia card, you should still be fine.

Can you post a link to your lap top. It's possible that canirunit is only recognizing your integrated graphics card, so we can't tell you if your laptop is actually suitable.

^^What he said. Your on board graphics is probably enabled instead of your dedicated card, if you have one. If you don't have a dedicated card, then this won't be able to play black ops.

In the graphics section, it says you can choose from:
Intel® HD Graphics 3000 [Included in Price]
nVidia® NVS™ 4200M 512MB DDR3 Discrete Graphics for Dual Core [add $69.00]
Both of those are not sufficient for running any kind of current game. Sorry, but it won't be able to run it. Can you return it at all?

Yeah, see about returning it. Dell has a 21 day return policy. For that kind of money you can get a nice gaming pc.
