Something busted and used from eBay or craigslist. Needs a discrete GPU for 50-60fps with current Hawken. I had a Lenovo V110 that managed 25-40 during old Hawken, but it dropped to 20 max on the new build during test. Onboard graphics will serve you well in other games, not in Hawken.

 

Sorry dude.

I actually played Hawken on an Asus ROG G74SX.

An actual PC is nicer, though.

It's used and has some cosmetic damage by sounds of it, but is spec'd right to get you melting people with battleturkey again:

Ohey, I'd been considering getting a used G74SX.

 

Is that a good investment? Considering it's a bit old by now, how long do you think a refurbished one would last me?

They still sold that model with the 4K display option. I have that laptop but I opted for the 1080p display for reasons.
