Sam,

 

You asked whether the laptop specs you quoted were ok for FS9/X?

 

Richard replied that it would run both. It's a perfectly acceptable answer to your question.

 

Now, depending on what add ons you are using, it should run FS9 with med to high graphics settings and FSX from low to medium. Without any further info from you about your exact FS config (aircraft, scenery, weather etc.), that's the best answer you're going to get and even then, you'll only get approximate ideas.

 

Your best bet would be for you to experiment with your FS settings in both sims to see what you can get.

 

Either way, the laptop will run both. As Richard said, it all depends on your settings, which you will need to tweak.

 

Cheers!
