In Need of a Laptop

School's almost upon me, and I need a laptop. My desktop PC just won't cut it, and with the travel time I have between home and school, a lappy will be a huge helper. Good enough, I can get anything... but there is a problem. I play WoW :D And as much as I plan to use the laptop for schoolwork most of the time, I want my favorite game to also run smoothly and sweetly. I don't insist on smooth Ultra settings, but High would be sweet... People in my guild talk about 60 FPS in Dalaran, and I don't even know what 30 FPS look like... :(
So will somebody give me a piece of advice? I am looking for a laptop, pricing up to... say $750, but if it's completely mind-blowing, I could toss a few extra bucks in. I personally prefer 16' and higher, if that's an option.

For 60 FPS in Dalaran, I don't think the budget of $750 will do much, as laptops are already priced a bit higher than desktops for their portability.
For $700, I got my
HP laptop
with an average processor and not so good ATI 3200 HD graphics card.
Back when I first got it (year ago), it ran WoW with no problem.
But as time passed, the laptop's processor suddenly started to die out and now I have no choice but to play WoW on my desktop.
Most laptops i've seen were 16', and replacing hardware in a laptop can be very confusing...
So
this
in my opinion, is a very good deal if you add in some extra cash, because computers are investments in the long run, apparently I learned the hard way.
Edit: The screens huge as well :)
