You don't need crazy specs. I can run it on a laptop with 64MB Videocard and Intel dual core 2.0ghz...

Wow is runnable on a 800mhz machine with 32MB videoram.


That laptop you listed should run it on high settings.

That laptop is going to be amazing for anything you would want to do, Guild Wars and WoW included.

Good buy.

An expensive laptop == waste of money.

Buy a "decent" laptop at 1/3 of the price and a high-end PC and you will still have money to spare.

Again it's not worth it - laptops are not really good for gaming

They overheat easy
You'll probably have to get it fixed several times
Upgrades (if even possible) will be extremely expensive
If you plan on selling it after some time you've won't get much for it.
