So I've been playing SC2 on my laptop and it barely runs... When I say barely, I mean it. I've got everything switched to low and I can't add units to a group by holding shift and selecting them, cuing commands for my problem with shift also fails regularly, as well as just doing anything when there is lots of shit flying about.

Your symptoms point to the easily solvable problem that your shift key is stuck. Use an external keyboard.
No my shift key is fine I play sc with no problems lol

You may be able to upgrade the processor on some laptops as well ... but the GPU is usually a no. Integrated graphics can't be expected to run most 3D games well.

Time to bone up on your computers and start lurking on some technology deals sites in New Zealand to see what you can scrounge up. Your cheapest option would probably be to be some pre-configured tower like a Dell or an HP with integrated graphics, make sure that the power supply can handle an external graphics card, and then throw in a budget $80-$100 graphics card.

Obviously if you are going for the long term you should build your rig from scratch with a high end motherboard (most pre-configured towers usually come with absolute crap motherboards). If you just want something that will run SC2 decently then this might be the way to go.

Also, make sure you don't get a tower that is a slim design because most of them can't hold normal sized graphics cards.

Good luck!

I'm sure if your old computer desktop isn't totally ancient, you can just buy a decent video card and SC2 will run alright.

there are external gfx solutions for notebooks (see http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vidock-expresscard-graphics,1933.html ) so you might wanna research into that area a bit more
