    Laptop Advice Please !

    Hi,

    Although i know a laptop will prolly never beat a good ol'desktop in terms of gaming experience the need has arisen for me to invest in a laptop for work , study ect.

    I know nothing about laptops , spec or performance but im about to buy this one.

    I just wondered if some kind soul could cast a experienced eye over the specs and advise me whether it would run games primarily WoW as i say its mainly for work but could be handy if i go away for work etc

    Thanks in advance

    OK thanks,

    So the specs are fine apart from the graphics card.

    Like i said mainly it is for work related stuff so it is not majorly important it will run WoW at max settings i have a desktop for that, But for running at medium - low settings it will run for farming, dailies etc?

    If your buying a gaming laptop, make sure its AMD, and make sure its HP, mine cost me 1100 taxes in, Below is its base specifications.



    I get about 45fps (on average) with vsync on in windowed mode at 1360x768 resolution.

    a much better choice for wow.


    The one you linked has an onboard graphics chip. It will run wow on minimal settings, It will handle 5 man dungeons(dailies, etc), but you will get 10 fps max in 25 man raids. Do yourself a favour and get a laptop which a has a video card with 'dedicated' memory.

    Here are a couple more viable laptops (kept it around 500 pounds and 15inch screen):
