PC Chances of running Skyrim?

Well it has been years since I posted a topic about "Lol, can my computer run dis?" but I felt that this would be a great time! Recently, a friend of mine argued about how "optimized" Skyrim is and whether or not my computer can handle it. System specs are listed below.

Gaming Laptop: ASUS G46VW

Processor: Intel i5-3210M CPU (Running at 2.60GHz w/ Turbo to 3.20GHz)

RAM: 8GB DDR3 (Planning to upgrade to 16 later).

Graphics Card: NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 2GB GDDR5. = Runs on Driver 320.49.

Operating System: Windows 8 (Normal)

Sound Card: VIA High Definition Audio

So what do you all think? Any ideas on how it will perform? Reason I am asking apart from me and my friend's debate is the Summer Sale on Steam will be popping up soon and I was thinking of grabbing it so I can focus on doing more articles for this forum.

Well look who it is!! The unicorn pony girl! And I have no idea about system specs. But that all sounds good

Your friend has his head up his ass. The ASUS G46VW was a good gaming laptop when the 600 series of mobile GeForce video cards were released FFS. I suggest you ignore any opinion he has to offer in the future about PC capabilities. Your laptop can run Skyrim on Ultra/High settings with high resolution texture and environment mods. I have the 560M on my Asus gaming laptop and it runs those settings and mods without issue and my native resolution is higher than yours.
