They are much more practical. But I am addicted to World of Warcraft, and I want to have good performance. The additional advantage a Windows laptop would have is it can use a lot of the extra utilities I sometimes need/use while playing World of Warcraft. On the other hand, I have a Windows desktop I can use in those cases. My main reason for wanting a laptop that can play World of Warcraft is so I can move around rather than be in one spot/get more comfortable. Also, the same is needed for when I do practical things like researching, typing a letter, etc. So which way should I go? Can somebody tell me how the performance of World of Warcraft is on their 17 inch Powerbook? |
I play it on a 1.5Ghz 12inch powerbook with 1.25GB of memory. It runs fine for me at 1024x768 (max rex for 12inch) Although you might want to get the wireless keyboard or any other keyboard for that matter because the laptop keys were not designed for game button mashing any laptop keyboard was never really designed for that in mind. Also get a 2 button external mouse the 1 button track pad is fine for work but I have yet to figure out how to use it for games.
