Hi! I don't know much about that laptop specifically, but as far as I have seen and tested this capture card (Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus) will work with any device that can output HDMI signals that are not HDCP protected. My laptop is a Lenovo, but I've used this capture card to record gameplay footage for YouTube play-throughs using just the HDMI output from my laptop. The footage is pretty decent. I only use the PC-Free Mode with this capture card though to avoid slowing my laptop down. To answer your question, I don't see why it wouldn't work with your laptop as long as your laptop has an HDMI output port that doesn't output HDCP protected signals. If you use that port you can record games using the capture card independently from the laptop via its PC-Free mode (this requires a class 10 Micro SD card). This means you can record gameplay on a low spec laptop without affecting the footage or the game. If you don't want to use the HDMI output capture method, it does have a PC reliant capture mode. Check the compatibility of programs like AVerMedia RECentral 4 (the software made for this device) and OBS with your laptop for using that mode. I will say though that I have tried both of these programs and found that this card does put a decent load on the computer, which is why I always use its PC-Free mode. I should mention though that how you go about using this capture card may create some hoops you have to jump through. For instance, when I record gameplay footage on my laptop using its HDMI out, my laptop can only output audio to either the card or my headset. This means in order to listen to my game audio and record at the same time, I have to record all the audio separately and then combine the audio and video in post. This doesn't bother me too much though because I found a very fast and effective way of doing that. This specific problem though is all to do with my setup. I mention it however because I can imagine that other weird scenarios like this could happen when using the card to capture laptop output. And that very well may be true for most capture cards. Hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to post them! I'll answer them as soon as I can and if need be I can run some tests with my card and tell you the results.
