Will my comp be able to run WoW on high/ultra? :)

Hey guys.

I need to buy a new laptop for school, and wanted one that can run WoW too, so I thought about this one;

SONY VAIO VPCEA4S1E/B

Specs:

graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 - 512 mb.

screen resolution: 14" TFT, 1366 x 768 ( WXGA )

Processor: Intel Core i3 380M / 2.53 GHz

Ram: 4 gb.

What do you think? And thanks in advance
Ps. im very open for other suggestions! )
and sorry for my english

High/Ultra? Not at what I would consider acceptable fps. But it will play the game, you just will have to dial down the settings or accept low fps.

With shadows disabled, it should be reasonably fast on high at that low res.

I have a vaio E series too.

No that GPU is not good for gaming in general but in WoW it can probably pull off the "good" or "fair" preset at native resolution.

Look around and see if you can find a model with HD 5650. It's a much better GPU (my vaio has one) and is available for the E-series on some locations.

Vaio S-series is tbh a better alternative over E series since you get a Sandy Bridge CPU (in some models, look it up, should be 2xxx model number), but one with a Radeon 6630 (HD 5650 with new name) may cost a little too much. But hey it's in a portable 13" format.
