I am sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place. I checked before, but I could have skipped over where this should go.
Anyway, I am getting the macbook pro 13" base model next week after HP screwed me out of a $1,400 laptop. I have seen the youtube videos of this bad boy playing several games well. There were a few videos of WoW being tested on it.
Here is my question? How well does WoW really run on this thing. I am looking for someone who has played WoW on the 13" for a good amount of time. Are you satisfied with it? I play that and Garry's Mod and little games like that while I am away from my beast of a desktop.
Thanks for your time!

Here's a gaming and graphcs review I made of the latest 13" Macbook: http://forum.notebookreview.com/apple-mac-os-x/527864-2010-macbook-pro-13-graphics.html
I didn't have WoW, but all the games I tested are way more strenuous . -
WoW is actually quite demanding, especially on higher settings. It's more CPU intensive than GPU intensive. Even gaming machines like my G73 can have a hard time in very large raids or busy cities, or while downloading patches. To give you an idea, my FPS goes from 200 in the Lion's Pride Inn in Elwynn, to around 70 in Elwynn Forest, which is an older part of the game. This is on all ultra with shadows at high.
From what I've seen, the MBP 13" can handle Wintergrasp at medium/mixed with about 20-30 FPS.
