Ahoy :-)
I am using a laptop for 1.5 years now to play this game.
And, within certain boundaries, it really works well.
What you have to keep in mind, and this is important, is that you need a very good laptop grafics card. The faster the better!
Second: Cooling system!
I have put my laptop on a laptop Cooler Master (costs 20 euro's).
It cools the laptop with a big fan from the bottom. Really helps a lot.
I play SH3, upgraded to Grey Wolves 3.0, so there really is a lot of processing power needed to run things smoothly.
Specs of my laptop:
Acer Aspire 7720G
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2 GHz)
Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT - 512 MB
2 GB DDR2
My laptop can do it, but she needs the extra cooling system.
The location under the DOLBY logo gets very hot when playing.
