Re: Are these features on a laptop good for playing RS?
Yeah it'll be fine for pretty much anything on RS. The screen is pretty low resolution though, but that's just personal preference. The 6770M isn't a very good graphics card but it's not bad either. Should play RS maxed out, maybe even some relatively demanding games.
Not a bad system.
Also, what Noodles means is that HP is a terrible manufacturer. I'd recommend ASUS, Toshiba, MSI (newer models, older ones are shitty), etc.

Low resolution as in it's only 1366x768. AKA 720p (768p if you want to get technical). It's HD, but 1080p is considered 'Full HD'. Like I said its just personal preference, but my current laptop is a 15.6" @ 720p and if I could do it again I'd get a 1080p display.

Doing an aftermarket GPU upgrade would be pretty pointless tbh. Unless you're doing one of those things where you can configure your laptop before you buy it don't bother.
The 460m, 560m, 570m, 6990m, 580m, etc are all great cards though just to name a few. That's in order of preference from least power to most powerful btw.

The past 5 laptops I've bought have all been Dell and i couldnt be happier with them. All very reliable and tech support is awesome.

Yes Yes, that is fine to play RS. In fact, that is alot more than what you need to play RS.
You could play RS with any of these:

and for less money, too

This will run runescape fine. Your desktop at the moment should run it fine too, if you are lagging it could be your internet speed? What is your internet speed? You can check here: www.speedtest.net
