This is currently a topic of many questions on the list etc. I also have plans (once I get my hands on some hardware, to do some systematic tests, but these will not be happening soon). With well updated intel linux (I assume you are talking about running linux natively on your laptop) drivers, you should be able to run it fine (if my research is correct). Do keep in mind that running recon-all can take ~ 10-12hrs to run, so you would need to keep your laptop running when running these processes, but for just viewing you should be able to run freeview well (though no testing has been done yet on this: I have plans, but they will not come soon).

Dear FreeSurfer users,

I'm interested in using FreeSurfer on my Thinkpad X230 (Ivy Bridge) laptop with 8GB of RAM. My laptop does not have a dedicated graphics card, but rather an Intel HD Graphics 4000. Do you think I would still be able to run FreeSurfer, or should I really opt for a more capable machine?

Thanks very much. I appreciate your time!

you should be able to run recon-all, but how fast it will be on a laptop cpu is another question. Have you tried running tksurfer/freeview/tkmedit? I suspect it will work, but some graphics cards have given us trouble
