Will this laptop run GTA IV?

Intel GMA with HD graphics card.

No, it won't even at low settings, the game might not ever run at all, integrated graphics such as the GMA series are very poor at processing huge amounts of texture.
Forget about gaming on such a laptop, no modern games will ever run at a reasonable performance
Any card using shared memory is useless for gaming

But if you want to do some gaming get a laptop with dedicated graphics

Check this just to get an idea of how bad it is

Do you recommend any specific laptop?! Preferably under £500?

And are laptops with dedicated graphics normally more than others without?

Would you recommend this one?....

Are there any laptops you would recommend for GTA IV for under £500?

On youtube I saw someone playing GTA IV and their laptop was a Packard Bell Easy Note TJ65? I just took a look at it and it looked quite good and ran quite well...

A gaming laptop will usually cost more than 1000USD, save your money and get a desktop instead.
The Nvidia GF315M 1 GB will only run most games at low settings http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...M.41529.0.html
Don't expect any heavy gaming on an i3 CPU
