    I'm using a xps 1530 and the only option WoW gives me is 60 fps...on my computer i can choose up to like 120...why is that?

    Update your graphics card driver.

    Laptop screens use 60Hz refresh rate . I think game syncs w the screens refresh rate . My max FPS on my previous E1705 2Ghz 2Gb@667 120@5400 GF7900GS 256Mb was like 60 . Ocasionaly it was spiking to 62 , but no more than that . I dont think you can get higher FPS in WoW when playing on a laptop . Some1 correct me if i am wrong .

    Get an external screen and then you'll be able to get a higher fps. - Make sure its a good screen.
