2. The display is widescreen so the image was slightly stretched.
3. It got a bit hot! I only installed SH3 not GWX just to try it out, and after say 15 minutes in the Type XXI mission where you get to sink a couple of carriers (nice), the Toshiba seemed to be kicking out a lot of heat
Any thoughts appreciated!

I used too a laptop when my desk PC was on repair.
The display problem can be solved if you have an Nvidia graphic card. If you have an ATI card
like mine, there is no solution
. I don't know about the Intel card. You should check the optrions it has.
For the problem of heath I keep the laptop one cm above the table (by putting something at its four corners) to have better air circulation. Last summer I even used a table air fan to help cooling.
Anyway these laptops should have some type of protection in case of heath (mine slows down the CPU to keep temperature down).
After all, SH3+GWX is playable on my laptop that is about 1.5 years old (HP, 1800 Mhz CPU, 512 GB Ram, ATI Mobility Radeon X600) so you should have no problem with yours, that is newer, though with an onboard graphic card.
