Laptops are the bottom of the list for recommended computers to use to play the SH3 and SH4 sims. They may be just as powerful, etc., but heat is a big factor. The more graphics you dial in, the more heat is developed by the card. Compare the area of a laptop to the area of a tower. Compare how much more room you have for fans and the circulation of air inside the tower case. Too much heat, and just like a person, the unit will shutdown/pass out. Since it happens after 5-10 minutes, I'd say that heat builds up to the failsafe/shutdown mode. Some people can get away with it but they're few and far between. It depends on the make, model of the laptop, the make, model of the graphics card, etc. No different than the game itself. Some people, even with all the bugs, can play the game right out of the box, whereas the majority of the gamers suffer CTDs, freezeups, poor graphics or sound, etc.
