    Hello,

    I am considering buy the IdeaPad Y710 and I had a quick question first... Does anyone know how well it would play WoW on high settings?

    That is all :)

    Thanks,

    blinduvula,

    I'ved moved your thread to the Gaming section. You'll receive better assistance there.

    And for the other members, the card is the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT according to the Lenovo website.

    I was reading online and I think the XT may not be correct. The card installed could possibly just be the ATI Radeon HD 2600 if that makes much of a difference.

    maybe someone can explain this to me... What is the difference between IdeaPad Y710 - 40542AU and IdeaPad Y730 - 40532BU. From what I see the Y730 appears to be better than the Y710 in every way but 2gig of ram. Also the Y710 is $150 more than Y730... so is Lenovo charging me an extra $150 for 2gig or ram on a laptop that is a step dow?
