With ease.

I assume you have at least 1024x728 screen on those 14" ?

1024x768 is the minimum.

Only current requirement is the resolution, and until we're out of alpha/beta whatever, having a 'minimum' requirements isn't the wisest decision as Rimworld is in a continuous state of optimization and change, sometimes getting laggier, sometimes getting smoother and it's minimum requirements now may not be the same requirements a month or two down the track. (Look at space engineers for example, it's current "recommended" system stats can barely run the game)

ofc, this isn't an official statement, but I imagine it's fairly accurate to the situation.

Heh, I was going to bring up SE.

Rimworld isn't going to change to the degree that Space Engineers did though. It started as a 32-bit DX9 game in a 10km3 sandbox and it's going to finish as a 64-bit DX11 game in a 6.6AU sandbox with destructable voxel dwarf planets.

If it helps, it runs on my laptop without much issue and my laptop specs are...

Intel Core2 Duo (2x1.66Ghz)
2GB 333MHz DDR2
64MB Intel 945GM Integrated Video
Windows 7 Home 32-bit

It can get choppy on the largest maps and/or if there are a lot of "ticking" buildings, but it's very playable at the default map size.

I'm perfectly happy with Dwarf Fortress's graphics. It's the user interface I can't stand...
