That video card is several years old already and probably won't get you a lot of bang for your buck. Will that laptop be able to play SWTOR? Probably. Will you be able to play it on anything other than the lowest settings? Probably not. I don't think it would be an enjoyable experience.

 

My work laptop that I just got came with an Nvidia GT 650M video card, and it plays the game at higher settings with decent framerates, but that's also the highest model video card in the GT range (there are some GTX mobile models that are still better). As your card would already be outdated by several years, I'm guessing you may have framerate issues even on lower resolutions and/or lower graphic settings.
