Looking for a laptop to run WoW for £600 or less

[Pilgrim_Pod]

Hello there. My partner and I currently have two laptops that are both dying (Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T and Acer Aspire 6920) and so we're looking to replace them with something new and shiny. I'm not really a gamer anymore but I do like jumping on WoW from time to time and with that in mind I'm looking to pick up a budget laptop in the UK that is capable of running WoW on medium to high settings. I've searched the internet and this (with my limited knowledge) is the best I could find...

Can anyone put my mind at ease with this particular laptop or is there something better out there for the money? I've always thought Acer's were good value for money but I've gone off them now due to the poor build quality of my last two. From what I've seen Lenovo seem to offer slighter better specs for less money.

Thanks for taking the time to read my nonsense!

My advice is to get a desktop for gaming. Portables invariably over heat quickly, especially "budget" portables. Don't waste your money.

A desktop isn't an option for myself due to space. Not only that, my partner likes browsing the internet whilst watching tv and the luxury of being able to sit on the sofa whilst doing work on a laptop. Like I said before I'm not a serious gamer and won't be playing anything more taxing than WoW on it so I don't need nor want a desktop.
