laptop and WoW

[Monk3y Pulp]

Will my laptop run WoW? I'm just putting out the specs I'm reading off my system properties.


HP HDX Premium series
Processor: Intel core 2 duo cpu P8700 2 53 GHz (I'm under the impression that i have two of the same processor in this laptop. I don't know if that's possible but it shows this spec twice)
Installed memory: 4 gb
Available memory/Total memory: 255/297
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M
System type: 64-bit operating system
Wind0ws 7 home premium (don't know if that makes a difference, thought I'd put it out there anyway)
Internet: 3G cellphone and pdanet

Let me know if you need more information to decide whether or not my laptop has what it takes

You can just use this website: Can You RUN It | Can I run that game | Game system requirements

I think you should be able to handle it. Here are some requirements I found:

Minimum systems specs:

Windows XP 32bit (SP3), Windows XP 64bit (SP2), Windows Vista 32bit (SP1), Windows Vista 64bit (SP1):
Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500
1GB or more of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX or ATI Radeon 9500 video card or better
DirectX-compatible sound card or motherboard sound capability
25 GB free hard drive space
You must have an active broadband Internet connection to play

Recommended specs:

Windows XP 32bit (SP3), Windows XP 64bit (SP2), Windows Vista 32bit (SP1), Windows Vista 64bit (SP1) Windows 7:
Dual-core processor, such as the Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2
2 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista users)
3D graphics processor with Vertex and Pixel Shader capability with 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or ATI Radeon
2600 or better DirectX-compatible sound card or motherboard sound capability
Broadband Internet connection
Multi-button mouse with scroll wheel recommended

As you can see, the requirements aren't like the ones for Call of Duty: Black Ops, as Blizzard wants to keep World of Warcraft accessible to any player running on almost any type of computer. This is for WoW Cataclysm btw.

Looking at your specs roughly, it's got mine beat. I've got an older, low model laptop anyways. I get about 25-35FPS depending on where I am and what I'm doing with everything on the lowest settings.

The only thing of issue it's looking like is the internet connection being on 3G. For general questing, leveling up and exploring in the game? Enjoy your stay in Azeroth.

Later in the game there are player vs player and group-dungeon aspects of the game that you will have problem with, solely because you need an alright connection (~200-400ping in game maximum) to be able to communicate and do your role properly. That's nothing to worry about though, as it's only really fun to do that end game at 85.

WoW really doesn't take that much resources to play. For how big the game is, it's actually fairly low as far as graphics go. My PoS laptop can run it, way worse then yours.
