Honestly, if your laptop can run YouTube, it can probably run CS:GO. Just download Steam, buy/download the game, and start playing. Adjust the graphics settings if it feels like you're watching a slideshow instead of playing a game.

Why play on a laptop? Desktops offer much better performance for CS:GO. Just saying.

Playing CS:GO on a laptop is pretty straightforward! First off, make sure your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for the game. You'll need at least Windows 7/Vista/XP, an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750 processor, and 2 GB of RAM. Oh, and don't forget about graphics – something like a DirectX 9 compatible with 256 MB or more should do the trick. Then, download Steam from the official website, create an account if you haven't already, search for CS:GO in the Steam store, and hit that download button. After the installation, launch the game from your Steam library, and boom, you're in! Happy gaming!

Just a heads up, playing on a laptop might not give you the best experience if it's not gaming-oriented. CS:GO is pretty well-optimized, but you'll want a decent mouse and maybe even an external keyboard to really be competitive.
