I am getting ready to go overseas for a few months, and my laptop is going to be my only way to play ME3 after April (and yes, I plan to play it MANY times).  However, the new laptop I'm looking to get does NOT have dedicated video RAM.  It DOES have 8 GB system RAM, though, and is set to pull up to 2 GB of RAM for the video.

Now here's my question, and as someone who is very desktop saavy, but not very laptop saavy, I'm hoping to get some real responses (and not people calling me stupid for not spending 600 bucks on a better laptop when I may not need to): Can I still play the game to its fullest using this sort of video setup?

If you don't have dedicated RAM i can safely assume that you have an internal video card (intel or the like)
Quite frankly i doubt you'll be able to play to its fullest, but it doesn't mean you won't be able to play at all.

Why don't you install the game and try?

I was actually running the game on my integrated graphics card in FHD by accident when I first played the demo. (I have NVIDIA Optimus.) It was a little slow and shadows did not render too well, but it probably would have been a lot better if lowered the resolution.

You will likely still be able to play it, but I doubt it will look as good as a more dedicated card. High-end video cards are not really just about the memory size, but about the amount and kinds of processing it does.

Do not count on integrated Intel Graphics to be able to run the game no matter the shared memory allocation.

Unless your laptop has an AMD A8 processor with its decent GPU, you can be pretty sure that it won't run "at its fullest".
