Im heading to uni in a few months so i need some help selecting a laptop. Obviously price is key, so cheaper the better. Im used to my home system of E6400 core 2 processor, 2gb ram and Nvidia 8500gt. So i wondered if anyone could link me to a laptop with those similar specs. I just want to be able to do thinks fast and the only game i need to be able to play is world of warcraft :P. Maybe i dont need such a fast processor as i have seen that 2ghz + can get price.
