    It's really a choice between performance and quality when it comes to PC gaming. If you look at the steam forums for skyrim, you'll find a sticky topic at the top with a list of great tweaks to increase your performance. Couple that with something like ENB, and you should be ablt to crank it up to ultra high just fine.

    I'm at work right now, but I'm almost positive I have a laptop with almost identical specs.

    By default the game tries to run it on ultra high, but it got pretty choppy at times. I tweaked it quite a bit since then and it looks and runs twice as good as it did on default ultra high. If you want the best performance for your machine keep in mind that the game isn't exactly optimized for pc, and your gonna have to get your hands dirty.

    In my opinion, grab a boxed copy of skyrim and take it to the computer you are checking out, and have an associate compare it with you. After installation, my strongest recommendations are the steam forums for skyrim, which has a huge list of great tweaks, and using ENB to make it look picture perfect
