Solved! Best budget laptop for wow

[shdw551]

Hello,
I am buying a laptop for my son and am wondering if it is more important to have a better processor or graphics card for the game world of warcraft. i dont really have alot of money for a top of the line laptop but was wondering if that game is more cpu or graphics card intensive? Any info would be appreciated. Thx Jeff

This Acer sounds to be a good value for money with i3-370M processor and 4GB or RAM. I am not a gamer and not sure how would it perform for gaming.

I'd look for an Optimus enabled Clevo laptop with your budget range.....this site is layed out very well but after a few issues with responsiveness, I don't buy there anymore

I would consider this to be the minimum laptop you would want to buy.

Games need both processing and graphics power although they rely more heavily on the graphics card. Just a processor will not play many games besides facebook games.
This laptop has a graphics card build into the processor and then another separate. Although it is refurbished I wouldn't worry too much ASUS is know to be one of the best laptop companies.

Definitely go with a Llano based processor laptop (AMD A6, A8) if you are looking for something under $600. Best bang-for-buck gaming solution in a laptop.
