Has anyone been able to get SH5 to run on a laptop and if so can you list your machine's specs? Thanks.

I don't have a laptop, but remember, you'll need to be connected to the internet at all times in order to play.

Dell XPS M1730
Core 2 Extreme X7900 @ 3.0Ghz
2x NVIDIA 8800M GTX @ 1920x1200 (SLI)
4GB RAM
Vista 32 bit

Runs ok, but crap inside the sub regardless of settings.

Plays fine in&out of the sub 1920x1080, 2xAA, low shadows on:

Asus G73jh-tz008x

Intel i7-720m 2.8ghz
8GB 1333
Win7 Ultimate x64
Ati 5870 1GB video

...until the 3g internet networks get congested in Australia in the evenings, then the DRM bends me over.

Just make sure the fullscreen option is on and all is good.

By default it was 'windowed' (though there was no frame so u couldnt tell) and whilst the game ran smoothly, the mouse cursor was jerky as hell making it unplayable.

I've left off the high detail sea, 3D Clouds, light shafts and caustic sea settings, but to me it still looks pretty stunning - baring in mind my laptop must be right at the bottom spec-wise. In fact the "You can Run It" test site failed my cpu as being below minimum spec. I still got it though as Amazon were selling it for £12.98 and I thought it was worth the risk at that price! I'm really glad I did 'cos I'm pretty darned happy with it, and it runs far better than I had dared!

I run SHV on my laptop nicely.

HP DV8 1050ES

You can see the specs HERE

Works fairly well with around 15 fps inside the sub and around 30-40 outside all settings maxed except shadows that I have them off.

Well, I'm just in the process of buying a new laptop,

Is there any real advantages between the Inter Core 920XM 2.0GHz(3.2GHz with turbo mode, 8mb cache)
Or
Intel Core Quad QX9300 2.5GHz (12MB Cache @ 1066MHz)

Is either one of these better? what about for gaming?

many thanks on any insight you could share
