Laptop for World Of Warcraft

[Anxiety86]

Hey guys

Going away for a while and need a laptop to play WoW on. I only have 400 pound to spend. I need to know which one of these laptops will run WoW the best. I am not looking to have everything I high, but I need something what will at least run smoothly on medium settings keeping a nice FPS even in raids.

Please tell me which one will do the trick.

Ok here is what I found, but if you can find a better one for 400 or under let me see it!



Cheers

Quick, remove competitor links

Just make sure you stay away from Intel graphics and go for a HD4200/9400M+ minimum and you should be just fine for WoW

 

[Anxiety86]

Will it be fine in like 25 man raids?

Do you mean stay away from Intel graphics chipset thingy things, whatever they are.

 

[Margaret]

Might wanna look out for a 9500M or so just to be safe but usually raids are more about the CPU, provided you run the game on low settings!

 

[lawz]

Yes, 'Intel Graphics' usually means onboard graphics, which can probably handle word and a little bit of flash before struggling

 

[Anxiety86]

I am thinking number 3 is the best option?

I take it that would run WoW on medium smooth nicely?

Sorry just double checking as don't wanna get it and be disappointed.

 

[Anxiety86]

Guys I need confirmation for the purchase.

Oh will it be okay with Cata too?

 

[arknor]

how much money are these laptops? , bottom one has the fastest cpu but its still an old cpu designed to compete with intels core2duo chips

 

[franco_22]

I'd go for the first one as it seems to have the best graphics card, is smaller, has more RAM and better battery life.

 

[Anxiety86]

They are 350 to 400 pound.

But I decided to get this for 514 pound.

[Anxiety86]

Thanks to all who helped!

 

[franco_22]

Good choice, that one is 10x better then all the other ones

 

[Caseh]

That one is much better. 4GB ram and a T6600 won't have a problem running WoW.

 

[Crimefighter]

Interesting - what brand was that laptop with a GT240M at £514? Acer?
