Default Suitable Laptop for AFPD

Hey,
I'm looking at getting this laptop: http://www.johnlewis.com/230574618/Product.aspx. Do you think it will be powerful enough to run AFPD judging by the graphics card, RAM and processor speed? If not, what alternatives would you recommend (from the same website, if possible) for under £1000?
Thanks

PS Is there a way to make it so the hyperlink is not the URL, but the title, maybe using HTML? (If that makes any sense)

3DCrunch, I think the laptop is OK for AFPD , RealFlight and others games too, In fact my desktop PC is more or less like the specs you are seeing on that laptop.

That laptop is more than enough for AFPD. AFPD is not a graphic intensive simulator, so you can run it on even the lowest end computer.

If you want all the eye candy turned on, a graphics card does matter.

That laptop would work fine. Really all you care about when running a 3D application is the graphics card, and your system ram. CPU comes into play with applications that require a lot of calculations, something our flight simulators do not.
