Firsthand, glad to checkout Wowhead, my first post here.
Main point, my old computer isn't too great for gaming, choppy, slow, and I don't want to buy upgrades or a whole new system. So a laptop would seem fitting.
I think I've located a well one, only a few concerns, like the ghz, I hardly know much about this. If you could give me some advice on what's lacking, or how its perfomance would be, I'd love that. So any help would super appreciative! Thanks, and yes I will respond to this.

2 GB of RAM with 2.5 GHz CPU should be suitable. If you're running Vista, might want to up that to 3 or 4 GB or RAM.
Unsure of video card memory. >.>

Yea, thanks, I get ghz somewhat now.
And a Laptop is more of what I want, Another desktop would be a hassel.
Any advice on an average or better amount of Ghz for WoW, or simply, a review on my linked one?

Well ghz is short for hertz
You mean
gigahertz
, or cycles per second. A simple "hz" would be hertz.

Lets not confuse gibby.
Yes, that laptop you linked will run wow fine, even with win vista
now, if you want a gaming laptop, for playing all the new games, and stuff, be ready to spend a lot of cash on a gaming-aimed laptop.
i have a 1.6ghz dual core w/ 1 gb ram and 128 video card.
i play wow nice and smooth.
hope it helps
and btw, welcome to wowhead :D

Yes, it should be fine for WoW. Probably it even outperforms my desktop, but in general laptops aren't too great for gaming. If you have some other reasons to get a portable computer (travel fairly often, could use it for school/work etc.) then definitely go ahead.

Gigahertz is
not
the same as hertz. Who said it was?

Wow, thanks everyone. And no, I'm not into computer gaming for really anything but WoW, that's what consoles are for. Much appreciated! And yea, travel is happening alot, my current computer has a whopping 3.0ghz, but unfortunately, supplies gave it a crap amount of ram, and a really lame Video card, so this advice actually helps me understand it better if i want to upgrade my regular comp too! Thanks!
This thread is relitavely dead now, I just wanted closure, but if anyone could tell my what settings this laptop would run on, that'd be cool, otherwise, just let this die.

you dont want upgrades or a whole new system but you want to buy a laptop(a whole new system), which will overheat and die in 3mths when you accidentally spill coffee over it during a raid?
