    Anyone play WoW on an HD 3650? Specifically the thinkpad T500. Im interested in buying that laptop and would like to know how it performs in wow specifically

    Currently i get 30-60fps on 1280 X 1024 on max settings except shadows.
    (my aging desktop) and would like to see similar performance

    You'll definitely be seeing improvements. The only thing that might be worse off is load times from the laptop hard drive.
