I have that laptop and I run with full ultra settings at the highest native resolution and always get 30+ fps. I only do 10 man raids though. CPU is amazing, graphics card is decent. Don't go with the first generation of i7s, the second gen is so much better for WoW and all other games in general. Price difference is almost non-existant between the two, only problem is that the sandy bridge laptops aren't being sold again until the chipset issue gets fixed which is trivial to me because I don't think any laptops use SATA 3.
