To play FFXIV on a laptop you need to put alot of money in because overall laptops cost more than PCs because.

a. you cant really build your own because the parts arent usually available.
b. OEMs need to make all the parts smaller for laptops, which costs more money to manufacture etc etc.
Well, I'm playing on a "laptop" too. Don't worry man, I don't dislike laptops, but I don't prefer them as gaming platforms =)
Story is that: I bought my computer in order to just work and play some low-end games. Since I like drawing and doing some little good works, I've aimed on a powerful set up, having an i7 960, Mobility Radeon HD4850 and 8GB of RAM.
I've never thought to use my computer on games like Final Fantasy XIV, but when I tried I discovered some of the true powerz of my computer, and can play high-end games just fine.

Conclusion? FFXIV runs good on an iMac!
