Prefaced with the usual caution that we really do not know the system requirements yet, so the best I can do is extrapolate from TW2 and assume that we will see evolutionary improvements in the engine and a greater resource burden.

First of all Intel don't have an 8 core technology yet. Anyway, I think you should be able to play The Witcher 3 on this laptop on Medium to High details. Laptops aren't the best gaming platforms even if it's built by Alienware. Not to mention how much money they ask for their laptops or Desktops. I'll rather build my own Custom Gamer Enthusiast PC.
The GPU's more important than the CPU. I'd be very surprised if any 4-real-core CPU (except low-end Core 2 Quads and original Phenoms) would be taxed by the game. But the ability of the GPU to deliver pixels on time and in quantity is likely to be critical. You don't mention what GPU that has. If it's running on the on-chip Intel GPU, it may have big problems with performance and bugs. If you have at least a 740m, I think you stand a good chance.
Somebody give me some hope please, nobody saw my post lol (well, I played TW2 on a MUCH WORSE GARBAGE laptop, and my current baby is my always dreamed first alienware system)
And yes this is the first time I'm quoting myself ever LOL
There are three rather different GPUs sold as the 555m. The two that are based on the GF107 (you can tell because they are the ones with 1.5 or 2GB VRAM) should perform competently. The one that is based on the GF108 (with 1GB VRAM) is much less, and it may not be able to run the game with any acceptable performance.
Running GPU-Z will tell you quickly which one you have.
i7 3820 @ 4.0
MSI Big Bang Xpower 2
16 GB DDR 3 1600 mhz
Gainward GTX 690.
Can i play this @ ultra settings without the uber sampling @ 1920x1080 @ 120 hz [120fps]
The Witcher 2 ran perfectly fine with this setup.
Just want some answers thank u.
No idea whether the game will do 120Hz on anything yet. But if anything can, yours should be able to. I hope SLI support is good in the original release, so that single-card SLI rigs like the GTX 690 perform as well as they should.
GTX 560
I5 2400
8GB RAM Corsair Vengeance LP
And I'm really afraid it won't run smoothly (in any settings)
I wouldn't lose sleep over the game's ability to perform on a GTX 560. I doubt it will run with all the eye candy. But it will run at some acceptable combination of speed, responsiveness, resolution, and eye candy. The 560's better at pushing pixels than textures, but the TW2 flavor of the Red Engine depended on the output stages to push mass quantities of pixels.
