Also, there are bios issues with many of the Toshiba laptops.

That said, I run 14 on my laptop when I'm on road trips. The graphics suck, and I can't do combat, but I can craft, do local leves, etc. and chat. Graphics are all but the lowest level. I had to flash the bios and basically "break" my laptop intentionally by confusing it about what drivers were installed (so that I'm running the Catalyst 11 drivers). It works. Mostly. I can play for about 30min before getting a directX error now.
I dont get errors, I just have really bad frame rate at times. If i'm outside uldah or limsa and there is no weather I can run it fairly well on standard but in the black shroud or when it rains I have alot of choppiness
