Playing World of Warcraft on a Laptop???

Hey, what up everyone, new here and was wondering what kind of laptop, or specs, etc that could play WoW pretty decent. I am looking to spend around $1200 on a laptop that could play this game with ease. I am also looking into doing other things with the laptop, but mainly just the game. Going to invest into a dekstop later. But for now, I am in need of a laptop for my schooling, but would also like to play my favorite game, I was looking to get at least the Intel Core Duo, 1GB + Ram, 256MB Video, 120GB + Drive, etc. What specs would you recommend. I will buy from anywhere, probably going to get one off Ebay. Thanks

I just recently bought a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop with 1.66MHz Core Duo, 1 gig 533mhz ram, 100 gig Hard drive, and ATI x1400 video chip. It will play WoW excellent and I paid under $1k for it with back pack. I was going to get the MSI 1039, which has the better graphics chip (ATI x1600) than the one I have, but it wasn't available when I ordered this one. Last it was stated before, you can go to several online sites to see what you can get for $1300, just make sure you are getting a dedicated video chip with your laptop. Some of the older chips will do fine also. The ATI x700 is one of them, seems to be still holding it's own. If you like/prefer nVidia, I would recommend at least the 6600 go model or newer (bigger the number the newer it is, generally, ie. 6700, 6800, etc.).
Make sure you get a wireless card or possibly the bluetooth wireless card combo. If you have a cell phone with bluetooth capability, then you might have a chance to connect to it wirelessly (not critical though for most people).
One final note.. If you want a 17" screen and a decent video chip, than you might want to look at the Dell e1705 laptop with the nVidia 7900 graphics chip. It can be had (with online coupon) for around the $1300 price range. Google the coupon (punch in "Dell laptop coupons" ) and you will find the coupon code online, which you just cut/paste at the checkout screen to get the discount.
Dell's aren't always the best situation for individuals, but they do have respectable systems if you do your homework. I hope that this helps you, I know I did ALOT of research for pricing before I purchased my current laptop.

Man I hope you're kidding. For $1200 you should easily be able to get 3GB of RAM a C2D and a decent graphics chip. I wouldn't buy a laptop off EBay though. Too much can go wrong to trust a purchase of that amount to EBay. Whether you go to any of the big retailers or somebody smaller you should be pretty good for WoW with the amount you're spending. Just make sure you get the best graphics chip that you can instead of buying something that is pricier because it has BluRay or RAID or something.

Some people seem not to have noticed that it's finally 2008. No one plays WOW anymore (ever heard about Conan?), and those who still are do so on their mobile phones whilst sitting on the toilet. Did I miss anything?
