I don't think you'll have a problem with the laptop. Most of my work is done through my laptop and it is no-where near as powerful as this one.

My laptop:
2.4 Celeron + 786 mb Ram & the video shares from this pool (has 256 mb built in and I expanded with a 512 chip).

The only noticable characteristic is that the laptop doesn't have a numeric keypad and this affects how you would use Hexagon.
