laptop help: How do ya go about buying a good laptop? - Help.com

Just get a good deal on a laptop, say one with a rebate. The higher end models that aren’t insanely expensive won’t play games the way you’d expect. Just get a laptop and dont play modern 3d games, unless you have $3,000 or so to spend on it. I can give you specific examples of laptops with “3d graphics cards” such as the mobility ATI Radeon that won’t perform worth a darn.

Thus, your problem is much simpler, just get something with a gigabyte of RAM or more and an 80 gigabyte hard drive or more. All processors that are installed in off-the-shelf laptops at any major retailer are of a current nature, and that said, have more power than you will reasonably ever use = you are safe to buy pretty much anything that is currently being marketed, any laptop that is in the “current or active” product line of a laptop manufacturer.

[Minimum]
- Video card with 256ram, To play WoW, nothing lower than a geforce 6800
- 2gig ram
- 2ghz 64 bit dual core chip.

You could run windows vista, I don’t recommend it. Vista uses more resources than XP, runs games slower than XP, and does not really do anything which XP cannot do.

Note that a bigger screen means more power usage and hence less battery life.

see what cerv said? This means you will end up paying through the nose for the luxury of playing WoW on your laptop with a decent framerate

dont plan on playing unless you got mucho dinero

otherwise get a desktop
