Hey,

So I have just got some funds specifically for a new laptop, and I can really spend anywhere from $500-1,000 on the laptop.

I'm thinking the i7 processor would be hot, but a good sized laptop with the i5 is fine.

I'd prob. be looking at anywhere from 15-17" screen being the best.

Mainly going to be used for class / work, but I'll prob. have WoW on it, so needs a decent graphics card

Any suggestions!

Asus makes some top notch stuff, just browse up new egg, you'll find something.

Laptop = Fail for wow.
But for work/class you got the genrall idea.
AR made the best suggestion imo.

thanks bio, very insightful

Try the Asus N61J, Its what i have at the moment and i must say it is relativly brilliant. Runs wow full graphics gorgeously, runs Crysis on full pretty darn well, its fast and speedy. 16inch screen, Runs a i5 processor with a 1gb Dedicated Nvidia card.

Edit: Also has a HDMI input which when connected up to a HD monitor makes it look that much better.

Looks sexy, where do I buy that one though

Try your local Computer store, they should be able to order one in if they have none in stock, either that or online. Definatly a bargin though.
