dell 1721 and WoW

my friend is looking for buy a laptop and her dad's friend and her best friend's dad can get like a 40% discount on dells and they told her to get the latitude d630 and said it was good for wow, but she wants the 1721 and was wondering if it would run the same or better. anyone got advice?

 

Latitude D630 has better build quality.As far as the gfx performance goes, integrated X3100 of D630 is slightly faster than the integrated ATI express 1270 of 1721, However, the dedicated nVidia Quadro of D630 is many times faster than both of them. Therefore D630 is the clear winner in terms of performance (not to mention the superior Core 2 processor). However, even the ATI Express 1270 is more than capable of running WOW with decent quality settings, therefore if WOW is the only game she'll ever run then 1721 is fine.

Also keep in mind that 1721 is HUGE, if portability is important then stick to the D630.

 

*twitch twitch* ok..... WoW = cartoonish poly's.... Wow doesn't = intensive

Integrated gfx cards now run it perfectly..... anything almost like w/ the past 4-7years can run it pretty well. i have an old 9800 pro, that was like midrange when i got it like 4 yrs ago, and i can run everything on max, only 1GB of ram too. if u check the gaming forums, there are way more "Can this laptop play WoW" threads than there needs to be.
