I'm going to be getting a laptop soon. Not made for gaming I'l tell you that. Mainly an accessory. But theres no harm in trying things with it. I assume the graphics card will be quite low end (But there's not too much graphics to process so I assume this is ok), it has 1 gb of RAM and 1.6 ghz dual core
Could I run this at least decently on the lowest settings?
Hardware intensity?

Low end on the graphic's card? Not a good assumption to make. Also, the processor sounds a bit weak. It might work, I couldn't tell you.
To be honest, not many people will be able to tell you if it will work. Best bet? Try the game/demo on it.
I have an asus f3 series with a 2.2Ghz dual core cpu, nvidia 8600m GS graphics, and 2 gb of ram. I can run multiwinia quite nicely at max quality and max res with AA on at the driver level. I've even been able to dial down the graphics and play two instances of multiwinia at the some time on two screens (providing i assign a different core to each game)! What a way to cheat
My friend has a similiar setup, but with 1.6ghz cpu. He can still run multiwinia on max, except for entities, which he has on medium. The point of this is to say that a laptop ofthe specs you mentioned would be fine, provivded you ditched the on-board graphics card.

I think I found the laptop online here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-10- ... B001Q3LXDS
Almost positive this is the one I'm getting soon. It is extremely small and definately not made to play games. Like I said I'm not really going to be using it for that purpose. I'm gonna be using it more for school.
I think it only has an onboard graphics card so yeah. Worth a try on it though.

i would recommend a IBM machine "Certified Used Equipment". Been buying Certified Used Equipment from them for years and never had a problem.
Just got a desktop from them the other day:
Intel P4 3.0Ghz w/ HT
1gig ram
for only $229.00 and i can't complain on that. shoved in my old NVidia FX5500 and MW runs smooth as sh*t
http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/HelpDisplay?storeId=1&catalogId=-840&langId=-1&subject=2576394
Now i have to get rid of my old IBM machine
