Laptops that definitively can’t run Fallout 4

34 of 317 laptops in our database fail Fallout 4’s minimum requirements outright — either the publisher lists a different operating system than the laptop runs, or the laptop’s RAM is soldered (not upgradeable) and below the requirement. Laptops not listed here are not judged, not incompatible: their CPU, GPU and configuration need checking by you — we don’t guess.

Which laptops can reach 8 GB of RAM?

291 of 317 laptops in our database support at least 8 GB of RAM (the model’s documented maximum). That is capacity, not what ships in the box — check your exact configuration, and see whether your model’s RAM can be upgraded.
