No. The CPU is not fast enough and the graphics card would only allow for unstable play at low settings even if the CPU could handle it.

ignore the previous post. they're misinformed. i have the exact same laptop specs in my pavillion g6. (maybe thats what you were looking at?) well skyrim runs silky smooth. on high settings. with native resolution and even with FXAA turned on. actually every game i've thrown at it runs smooth. including both crysis games. dead island. arkham city battlefield 3 MW3..most settings on high! its a gorgeous laptop and perfect for the budget gamer.

I'll take your word for it but the only thing I could go off of is what's publicly available for benchmark and game performance tests. There were none for the AMD Radeon HD 6620G + HD 7450M Dual Graphics but the AMD Radeon HD 6520G + HD 7450M Dual Graphics was tested on a computer with similar specs and had average FPS of 30 on low settings, 20 on medium settings, and 13 on high settings.

The 6620G dual graphics configuration is not astronomically better than the 6520G one. The reason why you're getting better performance is probably because the native resolution for the Pentium G6 is low compared to what Skyrim defaults to for resolutions on better laptops. i.e what you consider a high setting for screen resolution is a low setting, and playing games in lower resolution can make a notable difference in performance.

If an AMD CPU is set to automatically overclock then yes it will meet the requirements but clocking at regular speed it will not run Skyrim.

good point. although that would be the only setting you would consider "low" that was.. and i assume you got the info from notebookcheck? they are my reference site for any laptop gpu i encounter but i suppose they need to point out that they use higher res..but at 1366x768 which really aint that bad loike everything is smooth sailing. and at this price point its unreal. lol the OP is long gone.. dunno why i even bothered.. 8p (also PENTIUM g6? i lol'd a lil! ^^,)
