I was hoping to get a Dell XPS/9100(with the Radeon 9800) or Sager 4750, 8790 or 4790...I might not have the budget after all....What kind of notebook will I need to have good/optimum performance to play World of Warcraft-which will be the main game that I will be playing?
probablly sager from pctorque is your best bet for the money http://pctorque.com
use these specs for good performance
CPU - AMD 2800+ or better = Intel P4 2.8gz or better
RAM - 512 or better
Gpu(at least 128mb ram) = ATI radeon 9600m or better = nvidia 5600go
World of Warcraft will run well on Yesterday's technology...
I played it just fine on a ATI Mobility 9000 with 64Mb of Ram...
2.4 Processor, 512Mb of Ram...
Any current laptop will tear the game up. No worries there, get what you can afford!
World of Warcraft is based on the Warcraft 3 engine so it won't require anywhere near the horsepower needed to run Doom 3 level games well. I'd say if you can play Warcraft 3 with all the settings on medium or high then you will be able to play WoW perfectly. I'm sure that even my little brother's Dell laptop with a Radeon 7500 will play it fine.
