    Hello,

    I have a question it is possible (version better than 4000) at a laptop with Intel Quad-Core Pentium N354 Intel HD Grafic and 12 GB RAM DDR3 develop games?

    Should do the job easy. In fact, if you were on Unity 4 it would be wasted specs.

    We have developers on these forums using weaker hardware. You'll be fine.

    I have Unity 5 working in background. Nothing lags.

    And I am using a laptop.

    Super, it also runs fluently when you test a game on the laptop?

    Quite well. Unity engine is designed for low end devices so you can't really be sure unless you try it. :p

    I have read the system requirements CPU is a 4 core processor, 12 GB of RAM and Intel HD Grafic (better than 4000 version) supports Direct X 11.2 and OpenGL.

    If I am reading the conditions in graphics card is not apparent what an onboard graphics card excludes but since I was not sure I wanted to ask.

    Since you are from Unity, I see the rich so taken or should I consider something else?

    It never hurts to just download Unity and test it out, it is free after all. Even some unsupported specs will still run just fine. I had 4.6 running on an 8 year old laptop running Vista and it worked perfectly fine.
