I am thinking about getting Portal 1 on the pc . But I am ot sure if my computer is good enough . Or if the game is still great on the pc . So could someone please post to me if they have it on the Pc . What type of computer are you running it with and does it play smooth .

Can't remember the PC I had when I played it .. but it was certainly before the one I have now.

Tbh if you can run HL2 then you can run Portal 1 ..

This might help (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/).

You mean Portal 1? I have download it before from Steam for free for some limited time.

And the graphic doesn't really required a good graphic card as long as your pc is not an old rubbish pc. :D

Link jango gave is perfect but what kind of specs does your computer have? The first portal isn't very resource intensive so it shouldn't be a problem if you got/built your pc within the past 5-6 years (which is pretty old for computers nowadays)

How old is your laptop? And Portal needs 1gb RAM to work. I hope you know how to upgrade the RAM before buying it just so you don't waste money.

Yeah linux , I am pretty computer savy . I know how to upgrade my laptop . I am going to be taking some RAM off my other laptop . I am poor so I can not just get some new RAM but it's cool .
