I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree! I play on a laptop with Windows 8 as well and the touchpad works fine. Its not like some games where you are flying around on the mouse at a hundred miles an hour.

The touchpad is more than manageable for SH5.

The only problem people might have with a laptop is that the graphics cards may not be up to spec, so it will have to be a higher end laptop that allows the game to run properly. For the same price, you can get a good desktop which will run the game better.

Obviously the game is better on a desktop, as desktops are made more for gaming than laptops, but if you can't afford both and need a laptop, if you've a good one then SH5 is more than playable on it.
