its a kinda lame pattern to be starcrafting while studying, and not starcrafting while on vacation.

You could definitely play starcraft on your dad's laptop. My new laptop was sent in for repair and I was stuck with a old Pentium 3 laptop, it couldn't even play youtube smoothly, but it could play starcraft.

Unless that laptop is from the 80's or something you should be able to download that and play :D

even if a laptop runs SC, its got a really annoying feeling and you cant compete with it. basically its not starcraft.

I used a laptop as my desktop, then last year I switched over to a real desktop. Didn't really feel that off, just a bit awkward to the larger screen

take a progamer, force him to practice and play only on a laptop for a year. at the end of it, i doubt he'll be able to beat B- users consistently using his nice little laptop.


P.S. "im using a laptop" was a classic excuse for losing on USeast.

I used to play on a laptop, I found the small keyboard helpful because it's so much easier to reach everything, and the small screen makes literally zero difference to a person with eyes. The only thing you require is a proper mouse.

Ya I played on a laptop for like 2 years after my desktop died and I was too broke to replace it. Just get used to it if you want to play, not that hard.
