    Always been fine for me on a laptop.

    Not all that uncomfortable, just a little slower having to use a touchpad to navigate. A trackball might help there if you've got one.

    Widescreen is also fine providing you use the high resolution patch.

    I play Arcanum on my laptop (it's the only PC in the house, my family are Mac-loving heathens) and I've never had any trouble. Of course, I forked out for a cheap USB mouse...

    Caity you need a new family.

    I managed to kill a laptop whilst playing Arcanum but that was not the direct cause. Never had any lag issues or such.
