If it's free, then why not? If they didn't bork the movement ala UT 2003/2004 maybe it will be decent, especially if it has a Capture-the-Flag game.

I wonder why they would do this? What would be the financial reason? Why not release it in stores as a separate game for $5 or $10? At least they'd get some money from it.

Why are they releasing it for free? My guess is that the number of servers running the game has been declining. Maybe they feel that if they release the multiplayer that they will generate some interest in purchasing it for the single player and it will help fill the servers up. I am almost done with the single player game and I have no idea how the multiplayer could be the same experience as the single. The single player game can make your hair stand up at times, just be sure to use a headset! :D But, I play SOF2 online and multiplayer game is much better than the single player. I have no idea if this is the case with FEAR.
As for the question will it run on a laptop? I don't know if it will run on yours but I have a Compaq V2000 with a Turion processor and 1 gig of ram and that is what I play it on. I think a 2500 Athlon and up with a good video card and lots of ram will run it, not at the upper settings, but it will be playable. It is most likely the most resource hogging game out there. The graphics are great though.
Get it, it is a great game. For free what do you have to lose?

The former is free. The latter you pay for, but get the single player portion as well.
