you guys seem to act like this is a whole new game. it's a redux of BC2, with more of a solid BF flavor (planes, tanks, and whirly birds). if you're running BC2 on highest settings and getting good performance, you're going to get solid (medium-high) performance out of this.
no one thing in that list is a show stopper. i'm gonna pick up a 2.8Ghz Core2Duo for my G51vx and watch as it runs BF3 just fine. i might pick up a SSD if it helps, but i'll handle the CPU first and see how it goes.
if you've got a Core i7, quit whining, you'll be just fine. people don't seem to understand the hardware they buy sometimes, it happens. Asus is making some ridiculously powerful laptops. don't fear this game, it's going to be YEARS before you see games that choke these machines. i bought my G51 two years ago with plans of keeping it for 4-5 years, there is nothing i see in the cards that's going to make me accelerate that.
remember if going by how they did BC2, then the minimum specs are probably what's necessary to play the game on 'mainstream' settings (mediums, 4xaa, 4xaf,) now if you're running it at some high res, you need to realize that makes things like AA unnecessary.
bottom line: if you're rocking a G73, G74, G53 and a quad-core, you're good to go. the game is going to look nice and run great. if it doesn't then it just shows that dice has gone back to crap coding (BF2 required retardedly high specs when it came out, and even on max settings, didn't really look that hot.).

So basically, my G74SX will run this game smoothly? 4 cores. 16gb ram and gtx 560 w. 3gb memory. Does this mean I will be able to play on max settings? o.0
when you find yourself asking these questions (and i'm not just picking on you man, just using your quote for a example), look at the requirements listed, instead of asking someone else to do it for you.
does your G74 have quad core? yes
min spec is a 2.4 dual core (a i7 is mhz for mhz, faster than a C2D, ie a 200mhz core i7 with only 2 cores enabled would still be faster than a 200mhz Core2Duo)
do you have the right amount of ram? yes, times 4
min spec is 4GB
hows the video card? well a GTX260m is equivilant to a 9800GT
min spec 8800GT 512mb
like i'm not trying to be down on anyone, but actually read the specs. everyones worrying and nobody's actually looking at them.
2.4Ghz Core2Duo
4GB Ram
512mb Video Card
if you've got more than that then you're going to get higher than low settings out of this game.
