    Id imagine it would handle FSX quite well. Thats a pretty powerful laptop with a good dedicated GPU.
    You could try the demo on this page before buying.

    is the sort of graphical quality you can expect from fsx on a rig like yours, although you may need to turn down the autogen a tad, it should be fine.

    In default, it will look ok, great even in certain places, but you seem to be up for addon stuff, so yeah, it can look spectacular with addons. Better than 98 by several country miles, and a few nautical ones.

    No worries, take a read through the attached file when you get a chance. Its a good guide as to what settings to use.

    Autogen, refers to 'automatic generated scenery' which is certain non fixed scenery objects (ie, specific buildings placed as landmarks, or bridges etc)
    Auotgen is a mix of houses, trees, and other such niceties, that are placed on the terrain. you can set the level, dependent on your computer's crunch power, max, sucks juice, as microsoft's programing, sucks. Min, is nearly none. you can play with the slider to see what your computer can handle. Not a big deal really.
    However, payware scenery sets typically rewrite the autogen programing, things like Orbx scenery areas make autogen far more inteligent (ie it doesnt spawn a tree in your runway (happened once) though Tongass Fjords, for example (northern british columbia, canada, and the southern Alaskan pan handle, is ALSO inteligently placed, there's just a metric TON of it... a real cpu muncher.
