Maybe see if you can get a dual core? Just a suggestion, the proccessor should be fine as would the memory.

I'd check with Dan about the Intel HD graphics since SE doesn't like running on an Intel graphics proccessor and needs to run on an NVIDIA or ATI or there will be graphics artifacts.

Personally, I'd go with an NVIDIA driver.

Do you have any laptop recomdations cause this is an Acer perhaps a link?

I've only bought from Dell, so I don't know anything about Acer laptops. You can check the laptops that they have over at http://www.dell.com/us/p/ (I shortcutted to the shop as their site is having some problems for some reason) if you want. You can customize how you want to build your laptop even.

Still though, if you're going to do beta testing, it's good to have as much a variety of computer setups as possible.

If the laptop can run the latest 3D games well then it will be able to run Universe Sandbox 3 well.
