This laptop or that laptop.

I never really checked, but it seems that there are dirt cheap I3processor laptops around.
Wouldn't they be a better alternative?

Edit:
I3 laptop from Toshiba at Newegg

All of the brands:

My understanding is that WoW is an old game easy to handle even for entry comps of today.
So I guess the choices are rather on the OS and other criteria, am I right?

Why Toshiba in particular, for example? Other than branding?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if you got WoW running even on Intel GMA video. But I tend to think rationally that if you are interested in playing one game now, a couple of years later you might already be playing some other game.

I don't actually know how GMA is today but a little while ago the net was still full of people whining how they can't run one game or another on a laptop with only such a video chip. That's why I wouldn't ever go for it, unless I knew with absolute certainty no game will ever be installed on the system.

It's true I didn't mention I'd eliminate GMA.
And I didn't check wether some I3 laptops get GMA...

So I guess my answer should have been: lowend I3 with ati or nvidia.
Of course hoping there's no faulty nvidia chip still being used in the industry... Because nvidia has been constantly changing the commercial names for these chips to force them on the market knowing they were bad.

I can choose between one of those because my aunt has them and she`s selling me one for 100$ :P
