laptop with world of warcraft

If i were to buy a laptop capable of playing world of warcraft reasonably well, how much would i be looking to spend and are there any proven and popular models i should look out for?

My g/f has started playing now and then and keeps hogging my computer, she has wanted a laptop for a while so looking to get one in the new year.

Thanks

Anything with 1gb ram and better than onboard graphics will do the job quite well.

My GF plays it on her laptop on medium and it's 768mb (256 wasn't enough), 1.6 Celeron with onboard gfx. Suffers from pretty much constant frame rate issues due to the onboard but she doesn't notice so it's all good

Had no idea it would even run on an onboard gfx in a laptop, cheers man.

I was majorly suprised too, the frame rate only really drops low when spells are going off or in big cities.
