I'm not too tech savvy, and system specs kind of confuse me.

The sytem specs listed on Steam that I'm unsure about are:

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3000+

Graphics: 128 MB with Shader Model 2.0 capability

And if it will work on Windows 7.

I have an i5, which I'm fairly sure is only 2.30GHz, and a Nvidia GeForce GT 540M, I have no idea if it supports shading and I didn't find out on the website.

TL;DR: Will Mokney Island Special Edition Bundle work on my laptop with an Intel i5 processor and a Nvidia GeForce GT 540M?

I'm pretty sure you should be able to run it, as those are pretty low requirements and your hardware is relatively modern.

Your i5 is more advanced then an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz, and more powerful as it has multiple cores.

Your GPU is a lot more than 128Mb and I think supports up to Shader Model 5.0, so it's more than adequate.

Apparently it can run Call of Duty: Black Ops and Starcraft 2 in high detail, so Monkey Island should be a breeze.

As a final check, you should test your computer on the System Requirements Lab's "Can You Run It?" utility:

You can choose Monkey Island 2 Special Edition, so if that works, then you can be sure all of the Special Edition bundle will work.

Thanks, But the can I run it says it wouldn't work. and since my i5 is on a laptop, it's only a dual-core I think, instead of it's usual quad-core.

EDIT: I checked some other games and compared them against the results from the meter from yougamers.com, and I think the system labs one is basing it off the wrong graphics card.
