    Looking to buy new laptop, would like advice!

    I'm in the market for a new laptop; the 20fps on low settings in WoW my 2009 13" MacBook Pro just isn't cutting it anymore!

    Doing some poking around on the internet, I've found a couple in my price range ($600-$800ish)

    From NewEgg's section on gaming laptops:

    Satellite P855-S5200

    Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor
    64MB-1696MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory
    8GB DDR3 1600MHz memory
    750GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial ATA)
    15.6" widescreen


    From a forum post I saw somewhere:
    ASUS N56DP-DH11 Notebook AMD A-Series A10-4600M(2.30GHz)
    15.6"
    8GB Memory
    1TB HDD 5400rpm
    DVD±R/RW
    AMD Radeon HD 7730M

    I'd like to be able to run WoW on good graphics with decent fps (30+), and of course have other games (Diablo, Minecraft, nothing too intense) look good too. If you want me to post more specs, just ask. I'm not really sure what I should include.

    If these are good, awesome!

    If these are absolute crap, please tell me! Also, some recommendations and/or telling me what big numbers I should be looking for would be great.

    Thanks!

    If you are just looking for decent performance, these two are okay. Keep in mind they are fairly low res.

    I'd like to spend no more than $850.

    As for hardware, I have very little knowledge of what's what, and not a clue what I should be looking for. That being said, I'm not after anything extraordinary, just a good machine that'll last me a few years without becoming completely out of date.
