So most of the reviews I can find are of higher-end laptops than what I was hoping to get.

All I need:

Play TF2 w/ 30+ fps at lowest settings
Play WoW w/ 20+ fps
Under $750 (preferably under 5-600)

Is this possible?

I'd prefer built in wifi but it's not required. Don't care about HD size as long as it's 20 GB+. Won't ever upgrade or OC it either. Don't care about screen size. Don't care about OS between xp/vista as long as I can play those 2 games. If anyone can direct me to lower end reviews/info on laptops that would be great. Or if you know of a specific model that would fit the bill I would greatly appreciate it.

You're asking quite a bit out of that price range. Your best bet might be to get a refurbished unit from the Dell outlet store. You can find some decent systems in there. I have a desktop from the outlet store that was in excellent shape and has served me for 3 years.

Most laptops, if not all, in that price range will have integrated graphics. So, I also recommend the Dell Outlet. I picked up the laptop in my Sig for under $900 and it scores over 3600 3DMarks 06.

I had an HP Pavilion zv6000 and it played WoW nicely... not sure about TF2 though. Had built in wireless and such. I sold it for $350, and have seen them on ebay for 350-400 used... you can just throw some more RAM in there and should be fine... it uses ATI Radeon Mobility 200M or some such graphics... not too bad for gaming, I used it for two years (bought summer 05 while on a submarine base in Groton, CT)
