    Most everyone will agree a strong cpu is a must for wow but you also have to take into account that laptops perform slower then there desktop equivalent. Also many will consider that nvidia gpus lower then x60m (x being the series 5, 6, 7 etc) wont be suitable for most games @ 1080p without turning down most of the settings.

    Unless the I5 laptop is only running with a 720p lcd I would continue to save for one with a proper gpu in addition to a decent cpu.

    It's honestly a hard choice.

    The 750m isn't a great card... and the 740m even less so.

    However, the i5-4200U will run WoW at 2.4ghz, while the i7-4700UM will run it at 3.4ghz. That's a pretty significant difference, if you raid.
