You'll need some more memory. PR takes at least 2TB of memory

You see, Since it's a laptop, the Graphics Card is not replaceable. I'm Sorry.

A decent gaming computer comes in the form of a desktop.
Performance requires compromise. But with the desktop comes modularity, you can upgrade in the future if the time comes that it starts to become outdated. It can be modified to meet standards unlike a laptop can.

Or you can get a laptop that is designed for gaming, however they are very expensive. You will get much more bang for the buck building a gaming pc. Its not hard if you do the proper research. And like others have said, desktops can be upgraded in the future, laptops generally can not.

For ~$700 you can build a complete new desktop that will run PR:BF2 fully maxed out, even at very high resolutions. There's plenty of help to be found in the custom builds section here.
However, spending money is never an ideal situation IMO, and you can certainly try to run PR on that laptop, though as others have mentioned the GPU leaves just about everything to be desired. You might as well give it a try, and if you really don't like it start thinking about putting the money towards a new desktop build.

That should be more than enough to run on medium and maybe high.

not true i replaced mine

you just need to see which one fits although might not be possible on that laptop cuz of intel being fail.
