    No,

    Blizzard stated they are doing "sever graphical enhancements" a patch before the WotLK expansion. I just need to be sure.

    Yeah it plays it 100%... Both Azeroth and Outlands... Macbook Pro FTW!

    Heck even the integrated GPU in Macbook plays it, just is laggy in Outlands :p

    WoW is a 3-year-old game with a very good scaling engine behind it.

    People with low-end intel "placeholder" GPUs can play WoW.

    This is no insult to the game designers... this is what every game of its type should have...


    The MBP has the best moblie GPU available for the laptop size...
    Of course it will own WoW.

    This isn't the MBP it's the Mac Pro, a desktop, which is quite powerful. It can have up to 8 freakin' cores and 16GB ram. We're talking WOW here, not some graphics intensive FPS.
