Last year I bought a pretty cheap laptop with the intention of playing WoW on it, for about the same price you've listed here. Wow was really laggy and I ended up selling the laptop and buying parts to build another computer, the difference is really big, trust me.

Although, a year on the same price for a Laptop now you may find a pretty decent laptop in terms of WoW capable usage.

examples: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139121 - looks like a half decent setup just lacks a graphics card, which these days you only really need a low end 8600 nvidia card or something and you'll have no problems on wow really (they are cheap)

Hope I helped ;O

thats the thing though, with laptops, idk how to put in a laptop graphics card, cause if i really wanted too i could put one in my brothers computer, he has a 7100 or something like that and wow lags really bad on it. So im just gonna sell what i got now, and use the $ to buy a laptop and save the extra $
btw how much is 300euros in dollars?

the site I linked is in GBP (£) so £350 is about 700$ - I don't know exactly how to fit a gfx card into a Laptop, but if it's anything like with a desktop then it's pretty simple, probably a tutorial somewhere after a quick google search I'm sure.

You can probably find a nice cheap site somewhere which will deliver in the US - and perhaps cheaper than the prices over here, you never know :-)

300 euro is about 460-470 euros I believe, just incase that was the correct question you was asking, but the site I linked is in pounds so like I said £300 is about $600

I suggest you go over and ask the great fellows at www.notebookreview.com

they have a whole entire subforum dedicated to "what notebook to buy" threads, and I personally go there all the time for trouble with my very own notebook.
