It seems as though Champions Online is nearing launch, as they have finally locked down their suggested minimum and reccomended system requirements for Champions Online. The suggestions actually don't look too heavy for players with limited wallets, as they recommend 2GB of RAM or better, and a GeForce 8800 or better, which is what most gaming laptops come with in stock these days.
