Note: This guide covers content from Schedule 1, a satirical video game set in a fictional world. All items, recipes, and references are entirely made up and exist only in the game. Please don’t try any of this in real life.
Short answer: Yes, but it depends. Not all laptops are created equal—some are basically briefcases with LED lights, and others are glorified calculators. Whether Schedule 1 runs smoothly on your machine comes down to your graphics card, CPU, and RAM.

Minimum Laptop Specs for Schedule 1
To barely run the game, your laptop should have:
CPU: 3GHz 4-core processor
RAM: 8 GB
GPU: GTX 1060 / RX 580 or better (must have 3GB of VRAM)
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
Free space: 8 GB
If your laptop has integrated graphics (like Intel UHD), it’s probably going to struggle—or not run the game at all. You'll likely run into freezing, crashes, or 2 FPS gameplay. So unless you're nostalgic for slideshow gaming, don’t bother without a proper GPU.
Recommended Laptop Specs for Smooth Gameplay
If you want stable FPS, decent visuals, and a game that doesn’t sound like it’s trying to lift off:
CPU: 3.5GHz 6-core or better
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: RTX 3060 / RX 6700 or similar (8GB VRAM)
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
A mid-tier gaming laptop (released in the last couple years) with a dedicated graphics card should be totally fine. Bonus if it has decent cooling—this game is not gentle on your system.
Final Blurb
Schedule 1 can run on a laptop, but only if that laptop isn’t running on fumes. Look for a dedicated GPU and decent RAM, or prepare for lag city. If you’re not sure what your specs are—go to Task Manager and cross your fingers.
