Hey im in the market for a notebook/laptop for school but id like it to be able to run world of warcraft. any one have any suggestions? id like to keep it lower price.

 

Almost anything above $400 can play WOW.
I believe they have it running on the Asus EEEPC and that is bottom of the line when it comes to computers.

 

hmm. alright any suggestions for best bang for the buck?

 

macbook air....




just kidding

 

Whatever is on sale...

 

Yeah even my 3 year old Mac Mini was able to play WOW. Anything for sale now should have no problem.

 

speaking of macbook air. im looking at it now and is really appealing. even tho its a bit more pricy then i wanted. would the macbook air be able to do it? if so how well? im hoping for a computer that can do 25man raids if any one here plays wow. im not familiar with macs being a pc owner my whole life.

 

Mac Book Air is the ultimate in portability, not sure about a desktop replacement or desktop equivalent

I bought a HP DV6000 series, dual core AMD 1.8Ghz, bumped to 2GB ram, 80 GB hdd, vista, and nvidia video [kille price - $388 - Christmas secret sale!], it plays WoW ok - obviously I cannot run in res graphics or anything, but it does good

My main computer is a Pentium D 3.2Ghz 2GB DDRII 800Mhz 160GB SATA II (w/ NCQ) 2X GeForce 7960s (256 mb/ea) and a Dell UltraSharp 24" Widescreen

I'm looking into getting this one myself...

 

while it is true that practically all laptops can play wow, but can they play them with all the eye candy on and with good FPS? it really does make a difference in the game play.

same goes if you're in a 40man raid, but there aren't anymore 40 man raids with the expansion, i think.

i went from an ATI radeon 9600pro to an ATI radeon X1950XT as well as a new computer, and man what a difference it made.

 

My friend just got a Dell m1330. Offboard direct x 10 graphics, led screen, cheap and accidental coverage

 

Acer has some decent laptops.

I haven't played wow for a while. how are things in the game now?

 

How cheap are you talking?

 

I found some decent HPs at Circuit City for cheap, you should know that markup from store bought PCs are lower than ever now.

 

Well my Acer laptop plays WoW on medium detail settings just fine. GREAT laptop for $800

 

Anything with at least 64mb dedicated graphics will work fine. I wouldn't recommend anything less than 256MB if shared graphics.
