    I wanna buy a laptop to bring to the job and do some gaming (warcraft, Hearthstone... heroes of the storm when it comes out etc )

    Do I need to get the full equiped one with 750m

    because at futureshop there is a deal for a macbook pro 15 late 2003 2.0 i7 for 1499,99

    Is the iris pro enough for my need? thanks..

    because the cheapest 750m is at around 2299.99.... huge price gap

    Thanks

    if you want any of the eye candy and effects I suspect you may need the 750m. iris should be able to run on low settings but I am not a WoW player, I know if you want any decent detail on the latest release even the 750m is pushing it and the 860m or higher is recommended. ( information from my daughter who does play )

    if you wander over to WNSIB and fill out the form with budget, needs and other requirements we can all try to help you out better

    Iris pro might be pushing it. You could always just do a can your system run it with a laptop with similar specs and see what the results are. You should be fine with a 750 though.
