So I'm coming into some cash (around $600 USD) and I'd like to replace my PC with a laptop, expecting to use it in college and around the house. I'm replacing an entry-level (circa 2008) HP Pavilion with hopefully something a little better. I know I'm not going to get much for $600 but I've already looked at some deals on Newegg and would like to run them past you guys.

My main question is about the graphics capabilities. The first one has a Radeon HD 6310, the second a Radeon HD 4250. Using logic, I assume the HD 6310 is superior to the 4250 but I've been proven wrong on many occasions using that logic. The 4250 has a triple core while the 6310 has a dual core - will that affect graphics performance?
I will be using the laptop for World of Warcraft and Photoshop, as well as Word and Power Point. I want superiority of graphics above all, so if you can find a laptop within $600 (refurbished is an option if it's overly superior) please, by all means post it and I'll take a look.
Thanks in advanced.
OP do you really NEED a laptop?
I'm guessing that he has already weighed the pros and cons of getting a laptop and this is what he has decided.
Yeah Axon I have decided a laptop would be best. I'm going to college this year and will need something mobile. I'd really appreciate it if someone could comment on the graphics question.
Step away from the 4250 if your gonna game....You can play source stuff but anything above that like Black Ops or Bad Company, your gonna get 5fps. WoW should play at around 25fps with those graphics. I used them for awhile until I got a real graphics card.
Their both integrated I believe.
I picked up an alienware m11x for 600$, you can get a new one with a c2d for around that.
