Can an Nvidia 435M video card with 2GB paired with an i7 handle World of Warcraft?

If so, can it play it smoothly at mainly mid/high or ultra level graphics?
 
Solution
You know there aren't any actual Ultra graphics settings in WoW... right?

No contest... the GTX 470M but it's a hella lot more expensive. Have a budget in mind?
Got links and prices?

Got a link for your Nvidia GTX 435M and i7 laptop?

Better question: which one of the above notebook graphic cards (if any) would be able to handle WoW at ultra settings with low AA, etc. and play smoothly in most areas?

Working on those links, but essentially it's one of the following:

1. MBP 15.4" with i7 2.66GHz and 330M 512mb GDDR4 (not best obviously for WoW, but as long as it can run it on at least medium settings, I really do love these systems for all the other reasons) - $2070 (on discount from work)
Obviously this is a "splurge" for the hw you get compared to others, but I really like the macs so long as they can run WoW.

2. Sager NP8170 15.6" with i72820QM 2.3GHz and 540M 1GB VRAM GDDR3 - $1480

3. HP Envy 14-1100 14.5" with i5 460M 2.53GHz and ATI 5650 1GB VRAM GDDR3 - $1300

4. Dell XPS 15 15.6" with i7 840QM 1.86GHz and 435M 2GB VRAM - $1600
