Intel HD Graphics can't even play half-life decently [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] It is not designed for gaming [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] Get dv6-3050us for 850 bucks. You won't regret it
Thanks! What about: Intel Core i3-330M processor 4 GB RAM and 500GB hard drive VAIO display 15.5in (1366 x 768) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Memory stick and SD card slot Windows 7 Home Premium Colour: Silver White

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;25484081]Is this a Sony Vaio?[/QUOTE] Yes ^^ I want to buy one but also want to be able to play wow on it, but dont know if its possible?
[QUOTE=Toasonik;25484113]Yes ^^ I want to buy one but also want to be able to play wow on it, but dont know if its possible?[/QUOTE] Second laptop you have posted is good enough for wow but Vaio is overall crap and it is not really good for gaming
Sorry to post you again ^^ but by 'the second one' do you mean Intel Core i3-330M processor 4 GB RAM and 500GB hard drive VAIO display 15.5in (1366 x 768) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Memory stick and SD card slot Windows 7 Home Premium Colour: Silver White Is that the one that is good enough?
That would be OK but wouldn't the CPU bottleneck the GPU?
Ummm I don't know what bottleneck means.

WoW is more CPU reliant.
Just give your budget and location
My Dual Core intel @ 2 ghz with 4 gigs of ram, integrated mobile family graphics, and 1280 x 800 display can run WoW on medium graphics with 30 fps in Dalaran. Any of the ones you posted are fine.
You can run wow with a goddamn MX220. Well, Maybe not. Definitely an fx5200
[QUOTE=Axiom :D;25484351]That would be OK but wouldn't the CPU bottleneck the GPU?[/QUOTE] what
Thanks All ^^!
[QUOTE=wndash;25485025]what[/QUOTE] The i3 isn't that great of a CPU. If it can't send data to the graphics card fast enough, you'll have crappy framerates no matter how good the GPU is.
[QUOTE=Axiom :D;25484351]That would be OK but wouldn't the CPU bottleneck the GPU?[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? This is an i3, why would it bottleneck? i3 is good enough for other cards, such as the 5770, I dont see how it could bottleneck a crappy card like that one.
> Gaming > Laptop Pick one. There's not much in a gaming laptop, unless you buy a real gaming laptop. Expect to spend £2500 on a good laptop.
[QUOTE=Miyuki;25490073]> Gaming > Laptop Pick one. There's not much in a gaming laptop, unless you buy a real gaming laptop. Expect to spend £2500 on a good laptop.[/QUOTE] What are you doing? This is a load of garbage. The OP said he wanted a laptop that could play WoW, not to mention saying you need to fork over £2500 on a computer to play games is ridiculous.
[QUOTE=Miyuki;25490073]> Gaming > Laptop Pick one. There's not much in a gaming laptop, unless you buy a real gaming laptop. Expect to spend £2500 on a good laptop.[/QUOTE] completely wrong; everything about that post, everything

OP, give us a budget and your location. We'll find a better one for you.
Well the thing is, the laptops I posted were all getting paid for monthly otherwise my budget is appalling.

But then again, it really depends on the processor if you're playing Source games.

I don't think an i3 is bottlenecking a 5470M. It would take a pretty damn slow CPU to bottleneck that. [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=waxrock;25516587]i3 isn't that great? What are you smoking?[/QUOTE] Are you saying an i3 is a great CPU?
