    I currently have a Asus ultrabook s500ca-si50305t and was wondering if it would play world of Warcraft.

    Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot as I am new to this!!

    I played WoW with GF9300m GS back in the day so i think will be possible...

    WoW has changed though, it will get even new characters models with new expansion.

    WoW is a game that can run on 8 year old hardware but on max needs newer DX11 powerful cards. Though personally don't think it looks much different. The art style is the only thing that saves WoW graphics. Should run on any new laptop I think, like HD4000.

    Most of the new graphics hardware from Intel as well as the APUs from AMD can play World of Warcraft but doubt older hardware can play it with reasonable frames once they release their next expansion. I dont play much WoW anymore but i could barely push 1920x1200 on my ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with Wrath of the Lich King while the vanilla game was fine at launch. The newer expansion is supposed to update all the low res character models to keep up with the higher resolution stuff from Cataclysm and Kung Fu Panda.
