Hi Garry, Be careful when using your laptop in large renderings. I don't think a laptop is ment to run on it's max performance for a long time. I'm not sure if it can get rid of it's heat when you leave it on for several hours. The laptop I before the one I've got at the moment became so hot that it cracked the plastic surface of my table. I could get it a bit better by using a laptop cooler.
