Why don't you just ask for a model number and look it up english?
Though if I'm right, I'd rather not try SC2.

Perhaps your Spanish speaking friend could ask his question in the Spanish language version of TechSpot: https://www.techspot.com/espanol/vb/index.php

Its a C2D 2.5Ghz with 4GB of RAM, the only thing thats going to possibly hurt on it is the video card.

Edit: Actually just looked it up, its graphics are going to be fairly weak for that game. Looks like the notebook has a 8600M GT card. It will play, he just won't be able to play it at 1440x900 (if blizzard even supports that). Will probably have to play at 1280x760 or something and maybe have to drop some of the eyecandy off.

Find someone that has bought the collectors edition and use one of their 2 free 14 hour game passes.

The specs really aren't hard to read in Spanish...

Anyway, the game will run fine. 8600M GT is crappy, but on low graphics settings at a low resolution it'll probably get 20-30 fps. 30fps is the lowest that's really optimal, but hell I played WoW at 15 fps for years, it's doable.

SC2 is not overly demanding, hardware wise. I play it on a laptop with an overclocked 9800M GS and it's just fine on medium graphics. 4GB of RAM is more than enough (I'm at 40% usage during a game with 4GB) and a Core 2 @ 2.5GHz will also be alright - my proc is only clocked at 2.13Ghz, dual core.

Edit: Just checked with my dad, he has a similar MBP model. Says it runs smooth. Good luck, OP

Also, read, or tell your friend to read this article on Techspot. It's got a lot of information.
