PC/laptop spec for Zwift

Anyone know how important is the spec of your pc/laptop to use Zwift?
My laptop doesn't meet Zwift's minimum requirements, so does this mean it just won't work, or will the graphics just be poor/blocky?
Windows 7 32gb(although do have the 64gb disc), 2gb ram, integrated graphics and ssd hard drive.
I'm going to buy a Tacx Vortex Smart but if I have to buy a new laptop as well it's not going to happen as I can only afford the trainer.

I downloaded the free trial for Zwift, but couldn't get it to work on my Macbook Air, which only has 2gb Ram - minimum for Zwift is 4gb. So I would suggest trying it first. I was a little gutted, as looks pretty good.0

Oh, that's crap, definitely not buying a new laptop.
Just want something to maintain fitness as I can't go on night rides due to this awful weather we're having.0 -

Will that interact with the trainer and dictate the resistance?0 -

it will.
You can also run my application

which will sync videos (such as the Tacx RLV range) to your speed. It will run on a 10 year old netbook at a pinch (depending on the video resolution you are playing).BASI Nordic Ski Instructor
