Okay, I do not know how to say this in a way that isn't being mad.
You probably know nothing about computers.
A laptop is the same as a pc.
PC stands for Personal Computer.
Laptops are computers.
Also, a graphics card that works good with shaders can be installed into a laptop.
Please try to be less general and more specific.

Depends on the laptop.
Your graphics card can't run shadows. You can run bf3 because they have a huge team of people that work full time all day to get shadows running on crappy hardware.

Shaders in TGE aren't normally possible, Badspot and Kompressor put them in themselves. For me, shaders run fine on all settings; it's probably your graphics card or something.

It's considerably harder to put a graphics card into a laptop than it is to put into a desktop. You have to pretty much completely dismantle a laptop to put new hardware in, and you have to get an external disc drive for some laptops that don't have CD drives, whereas with a desktop, you can (usually) take off the side, take out the old graphics card, put the new card in and throw in an installation disc.
