Color was not designed for a laptop. It is entirely dependent on the graphics card. The fact that Color can run on a Mac Book Pro is proof the laptops are powerful.
But I would in No Way try to use a laptop. I'm surprised know one has mentioned how small Color's UI looks using a laptop and how readability is sacrificed. Color's UI is frustrating enough when you can see it on a large cinema display let alone a small laptop.
Using Color with the proper hardware, a prepped FCP sequence and you will have happy results. If you do not your milage will vary. Heck, I got away with a Re-conform yesterday using Color 1.0.4, the app never ceases to amaze me.
My 2 cents.
