Hello again guys,

Need more info. There are a number of "Ideapad Z585" configurations.

Are you looking for a certain price? Do you have a computer now? What settings are you hoping to play on? Throw us a bone.

I have a desktop now which is terrible.I don't mind what settings it's on as long as its half decent and runs well at all times.

This one has
Processor - amd a8 4500m 1.9ghz
8gb ram
1tb hd
Graphics - amd Radeon hd 7640g

Will probably under perform in raids and possibly BG's, but for the rest it might be 20-30ish fps with decent settings. If you don't mind though you could tweak the settings down and gain more performance.

okay so do you think I could play on medium settings okay?

[chazus]

How cheap is it, exactly? It'll certainly run WoW (I have a similar laptop with an A4-4400m, but it'll struggle in raids (as shuji said).On Low/Medium settings it's certainly playable... But I use mine as a vacation thing.. I wouldn't want to play on it as my main system.

its 400GBP. I have a small budget so this seems ideal to me, I was just wondering how it would run Wow.
i want a laptop as i move around ALOT so cant play much with my desktop..

[chazus]

That seems pretty pricey. The system I got probably runs WoW better, and was like... half that. Of course, I imagine things are more expensive over there, and mine was also on sale. It just seems pricey for basically a bottom of the barrel system.

For reference, mine was $300, and £400 is about $620

[divinitus1]

okay well where did u get yours from then?

[chazus]

I got mine at Staples on sale, which doesn't help you all that much. I'd look for sales on a tight budget. I'm not sure of where exactly to buy a laptop from around there, but I'm sure there are some people who will chime in with better knowledge.

[divinitus1]

okay thanks for your help

Try amazon or newegg (not sure if newegg is international as well??). I got my current laptop off of amazon during a clearance sale for $500 and it has an i7 36XXqm, 4gb ram and Nvidia GT 540m.. It ran wow fine in 25 man lfr on whatever the game recommended settings were.. I was fine with it, so I didn't try and toy with them, but I am guessing it was a mix between low and medium settings..
