that's significantly better, should squeeze out high settings at playable fps

 

[zekeyoh]

Is the graphics card that makes it better or the processor?

 

[AntiZig]

GPU is definitely better than in the first one, and that's what matters in games. The CPU I'd say is about the same, but that said, both CPUs are good

You were suggested better laptops in your other thread. http/www.tomshardware.com/forum/75637-35-laptop For wow both cpu and gpu affect fps. But I wouldn't recommend that i7, laptops with newer/better parts can be found at the same price.

hello i am also looking for a laptop, and i saw one at staples for 499 and it has a 17.3 inch display 6gb ram a8 amd processor, which is faster than the one your looking at by about 4 gigaherts, or in wow talk about 20-30 fps so this computer im looking at could go about 65-70 fps on wow assuming you have a fast internet connection, it also have a 640 gb hard drive. Toshiba Satellite L875D-S7232 17.3" is the exact name of the lap top

hey i just had to tell you i like your tag about binary made me laugh

Multiplying number of cores and ghz is like multiplying 4 wheels of a car to its horsepower. Gigahertz isn't a gauge of performance anyways. A dual core with lower ghz can be better than a quad core with twice the ghz. Also the gpu is the main factor for game fps. I'd suggest you make your own thread and fill this out so that you can get help. http/www.tomshardware.com/forum/50797-35-laptop-buyers
