Ejac on his laptop he has delay. Most laptops that use shared VRAM have SEVERE input delay from USB devices. You really shoulda bought a good gaming laptop, atleast one of the HIGH END asus ones, or alienware. Many lower end ($1600) have terrible input lag and it's something you cannot fix and something you should have researched before purchasing. You can do absolutely nothing about that input lag. And to your desktop (0.05 input lag) thats just norming MS lag, I bet if you played on the map creator you would not feel it at all. Sorry to say it man, but you bought the wrong laptop, or atleast if you can try to upgrade it to having a dedicated video card without shared ram. When i bought my gaming laptop, (An m17) I researched long and hard, you really have to get high end laptop or you're going to see input lag a recurring problem with most gaming laptops. A close friend of mine has the exact same problem as you do with starcraft 2, I think its because starcraft 2 tries to use all free ram to quicken the game up (Mine used close to 3.5GB of ram during the beta. i got 6gb, 1.5 on windows or such) So this might be causing the problems. If you can find a program which can limit the amount of ram starcraft uses it will probably fix your problem.
