    I think that if you're not going to be gaming and you're not running heavy programs for work then you don't need anything too powerful. I think that any laptop would more than suffice for every day things and It won't take up much space. Unfortunately most computers now are built for and run...

    If you still have the windows installation CD, then put that in your cd drive and when you turn on your computer, go into bios by pressing f10 or f8 or f2.

    bf 4 ready?

    If you have trouble running bf3 then you will probably have more trouble running bf4. That being said you will be able to run it. Just not very well on medium. Maybe low settings will get you around 30fps.
