Prices between 200-400. I have 300 dollars currently and getting 100 more may take a month or so.
Able to handle World of warcraft(Cataclysm)
I'm not concerned about battery life and size, only reason why i want one is because travel between two houses a day. Otherwise i would custom build a tower.
Some laptops:

the unlucky news i have is that your budget probably wont buy a laptop with that kind of procsessor, at least not with every high performance part you listed, well maybe not high, but for a low budget laptop it kind of is. so i would shop around, and if worse comes to worse, settle for the toshiba, its fast and reliable and it can play most games, such as Just Cause 2, And Mafia 2, with little Lag problems (but at low-medium settings)

Contact me for any further help :)

It can handle it with some pretty good ease. maybe not on high settings, but it will handle it. If you want some grreat performance then i would look into the newer models, such as this one:

or the more expensive gaming Hp laptop:

Your best bet by far, if your looking to spend it, is the samsung series 3. it has the space and the graphics capability to run WOW on high. the A8 is a fantastic processor for mobile gaming. i wish i wouldve run across that one myself. so if your willing to go over 300, thats where to do it.

ASUS K55N-DS81 is seriously the best one IMO. at $399 The graphics card is a respectable AMD Radeon HD 7640G which is roughly 20% more muscled than the HD Graphics 4000 which is the minimum GPU to qualify as a gaming laptop for casual gamers.
