    I was just wondering since I do this all the time. I use a Compaq laptop with a USB mouse and KAG works just fine! (Since the graphics aren't that amazing).
    I was just wondering if anyone else does this?

    Yeah I play on my gfs laptop most of the time, I prefer a proper comp really though so I'm not gonna vote "hell yeah", it's comfy enough with my wireless mouse and keyboard when it's stacked up on a few books though. Since there aren't many controls though you can easily get away with it though, not gonna bother playing any tactical FPSs on this thing any time soon though...

    All I have is my sister's old laptop. It's not "old" per se, but she got a sick touchscreen laptop from work so I got this one. It's got a pretty damned good graphics card and sound card and such, so I have no problems with it. KAG works like a champ on it!

    I mostly only play KAG on my laptop with a USB mouse. If The Sims 3 looks ok on it, then KAG is well... you know

    I have no choice but to play on laptop since my PC is broken, and well... the game runs about 20-30 FPS, so it's stable enough to play. Only problem is the resolution, i am forced to play full-screen cause every resolution is: Too Big or Too Small.

    Other than that KAG plays pretty good on a laptop.

    Um what's significant about playing on a laptop?

    Everything looks good on my laptop screen though, its a 17.3 inch 1080p and has 3 gigs graphics, and a 2.4GHz quad core... and 8G RAM... etc

    I use my sisters Mac book air because I'm hip like that and I don't have my own computer.

    Fucking hipster :D , 9.5 out of 10 laptops I see in my lectures are fucking apples. If I wanted a mac book with specifications just shy of mine, it would cost my 2700NZD more..

    I play with the touchpad. I'm too poor for a mouse. :( That's probably why I'm so terrible :QQ:

    I wasn't saying it was. I was just merely asking if anyone else did this, I'm pretty surprised by how many voted "Hell Yeah" :D


    I know how you feel. I used to use a mouse pad to play Minecraft in the past, Then I just went out and brought a cheap 10£ USB mouse. :P

    I play on both a mac (which I hate) and a PC laptop I use for gaming, while I can funtion pretty well with a track pad I cannot compensate for the latency brought on by the lackluster wireless card and therefor I cannot play knight. But builder and to an extent archer are funtional. But then I get on my PC and with a good mouse in hand I will procede to turn the blue team red with my sword. (Those blues, those damn dirty blues)

    My laptop is fairly bad and it runs KAG perfectly.

    EDIT: In fact, if I tried to run Minecraft on my laptop, it would probably shut itself down from the strain. So yeah, thank you KAG team for having competent coders.

    I dunno about just how complex minecraft is in coding terms, but I imagine it should be alot more strenuous to run then KAG, even with the physics. There might not be alot to it at face value with the simple textures, but in your field of vision if your looking form on top of a hill or whatever you can probably see a whole fuck load of information that needs computing. I imagine it probably could and should work alot smoother then it does - infact it can because the optifine mod makes it run a whole shitload smoother, and adds alot of nice graphical tweaks if your computer can handle them - but I'd say it's porbably alot more processing then KAG.
