I use my desktop for GTA 5, but I need a way to play GTA 4 elsewhere when I'm not using it.
That's correct, keeping the laptop running continuously can damage it if the cooling system isn't working well. Your friend's XPS 13 motherboard failed after hours of music production.
I installed this laptop after running some demanding tests with the Beamng drive for hours. The system specs needed were a high-end Intel i5/i7 processor, at least 8GB DDR3 RAM, a GTX 780 GPU or better, and Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit) or newer. Before that, all the junk on it was cleared out before I played GTA 5 for a short time.
System specs for GTA 4 include a processor like Intel Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom X3, memory ranging from 2 to 8 GB, and a free hard drive space of around 18 GB. The graphics card should support DirectX 9 and be compatible with NVIDIA 8600 or ATI 3870. A video card with at least 512MB is needed, along with a surround sound card. The keyboard must meet GTA 5 requirements, which call for Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit, or Windows 7 SP1. Storage needs include a minimum of 65GB HDD space and a DVD drive.
