Can I use this machine to play WOW?

To be honest, I REALLY don't think you're going to find a netbook (which are the "small and cute" laptops) that will be capable of playing WoW... I have an HP mini (http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/serie ... uter_store that one I believe) and I honestly would not feel comfortable playing WoW on it at all. I've played some games on it, including some with 3d-modeled graphics, however, WoW is a LOT more hardware intensive than anything else I play. Not to mention the small screens...

If you want a laptop for gaming, you're probably better off getting a larger one. You CAN play with the bare minimum system requirements, but not only could the game be slow, even with everything turned down, but you run the risk of not being able to play at ALL if blizzard does any graphical upgrades, like they've slowly been doing. Really, when it comes to laptops, from what I've seen anyways, you can choose from either small and lightweight, OR a good gaming laptop. Just from wandering around campus.. I NEVER see any gamers using their notebooks, or sub-18" laptops for gaming on their breaks. It's always the bigger ones... That might not be very technical.. but considering all the textbooks(I had one bin "filled" with my half dozen when I moved.. and it was too heavy to lift...), notebooks, supplies, etc people gotta carry around, if they COULD get away with smaller, they probably would.

Looking at the one you're looking at, I can't see any information at all about their graphics processor. Everything else seems to just barely meet the minimum requirements, but the graphics processor is going to be a VERY important factor as to whether the game will be playable, and enjoyable.

I can let you know that buying a netbook to play wow isnt advisable.

I have a netbook, with 2gb of ddr3 RAM, and a dual core atom processor, and it barely runs.

I can get about 10fps at best, but it crashes in stormwind, and i tried to play one random dungeon on it once, and it was laughable.

PVP definatly isnt possible because by the time youve seen something happen, the other guy has killed you about 10 seconds ago.

The graphics cards on those things are terrible, and not designed for games.

Im sorry, but if your hoping to take wow on the go, youll need a half decent laptop.
