which computer better for wow?

[Jimbo123]

ok i have a choice of these two laptops for wow, which would be the better of the two this; Acer - Aspire Laptop with Intel® Centrino® Duo - AS7720-6395
or this HP - Pavilion Laptop with AMD Turion™ 64 X2 - dv6636nr
the one is cheaper but is a name brand, the other has better graphics card.

I've never heard any good things about Acer.

well, my choice would be the HP but the Acer does have the better gear.

you can always optimize the HP with better gear.

so i would go with the HP.

Either can run WoW. WoW hardly takes anything to run.

acer's a great company. hp is decent too.

I would not go for the either. Here is my recomendations and Pros/Cons:

(Acer)
Pros:
Better video card
Bigger screen
Better screen resolution (its 1440x900 on a 17" screen and my acer 19" has 1440x900 also).
Cons:
More expensive
Bigger screen = slightly bigger laptop

(HP)
Pros:
Bigger Processor (not needed for gaming as much)
Cheaper
Cons:
Smaller screen size, screen resolution, and video card.

My personal recommendations:
If you can spend the extra money on the Acer, don't buy it, buy an Alienware laptop for about the same price, and they seem to last longer. I bought mine in January of '06 for around $1,700 and I have no intentions of buying a new one because even though it is almost 2 (GASP!), it still out preforms my mother's new Toshiba which is only about 2 months old. If you want to save as much money as you possibly can, go for the HP, because it's cheaper and it can run WoW at max resolution, but if you want to be ahead of or at the curve for a few months, go for an Alienware. If you want to checkout my laptop's specs just go here.

EDIT: This is NOT a good time of the year to buy an Alienware because it seems like they have only the expensive models for sale.

I would rather have secks with a sandpaper sock than buy another Acer, they're a real piece of crap.

The following statement is true.

Either can run WoW. WoW hardly takes anything to run.
