    Hey,

    I have £450, possibly a little more to spend, and I want to get a laptop that runs World of Warcraft as smoothly as possible without overheating every half hour like my current WoW setup. Can anyone recommend a good laptop with this purpose in mind?

    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    ~ Yends

    EDIT: If you're american, £450 translates to roughly $910

    you should probably goto the "what notebook should i buy" section for more help. but anyway, look at the vostro line from dell. that should be good.

    It's hard to get a notebook that would run WoW as smoothly as possible in that range, but I'd recommend either an inspiron 1520 or vostro 1500. Those are the two of the cheapest notebooks around right now with dedicated DX10 graphics.
