Will This Laptop Play World of Warcraft?

It will play the game, but not very well. Look for a laptop with a dedicated video card by NVIDIA or ATI rather than any saying “Intel GMA”. From what I’ve seen, the Intel GMA x4500 is on par with entry level ATI/NVIDIA cards that aren’t very good for gaming. The link below is a performance hierarchy chart and you can see the equivalent desktop cards (which would also do poorly for WoW). I used to play on an NVIDIA 8600GT (which is above the Intel GMA X4500) and I never got above 7 FPS in a city (other than Silvermoon, where nobody really visits). The rest of the system should be fine for gaming, video won’t do exceptionally well though.
