Need help with laptop for WOW

[warhoof6556]

I'd like to play WOW 25-man raids with med-high settings with strong fps and minimum lag.

Budget is $500.

I need to be mobile so desktop is not an option.

Laptop I'm looking at is:


Dell Inspiron i15R-1633sLV 15.6-Inch Laptop

Screen Size 15.6 inches
Max Screen Resolution 1366x768 pixels
Processor 2.4 GHz Core i3-2370M
RAM 6 GB DDR3
Hard Drive 750 GB
Graphics Coprocessor Intel® HD Graphics 3000 (SB)
Wireless Type 802.11bgn
Number of USB 3.0 Ports 3

Please rate and comment. If this isn't good please recommend others.

Thank you for your time.

you won't go far with intel graphics ...
intel graphics kind of goes through the cpu ... so you'll lose alot of performance.

if you really want to play wow on a laptop, try to get one with i5 cpu and nvidia gpu 640 or higher.

from playing on a better setup, the OPs suggested laptop will not play 25m on med let alone low at over 20 fps.

I'd like

1) play WOW 25-man raids with med-high settings with strong fps and minimum lag.
2) Budget is $500.
3) I need to be mobile so desktop is not an option.

You can pick only two, all three requirements don't meet anywhere.

Ditching option 2 this is the price bracket you should be looking into.

Dedicated graphics and Intel processor is a must if you want to raid 25mans at acceptable quality and framerate.
