WTB: Thinkpad with discrete graphics for WOW

#1 Post by dwilsonfl » Sat Nov 14, 2009 11:05 am

Hi guys,

Son #2 is looking for a smaller laptop than his Asus gaming one (16" I think) to sit on the couch with and still play WOW. He's probably selling the Asus later.

So what 14" or smaller laptop that is capable of running WOW well would you recommend?

Price range is probably $500 down although unlike his Dad, the boy has funds.:)

Anybody have anything?
