I am looking for any information about laptops. I would like to learn as much as possible before i jump into debt. And this laptop needs to last awhile.
Im asking anyone who knows anything.

Honestly WoW is not an extremely high graphic game. I would go with a Dell personaly but more important than the Brand MAKE SURE u do get enough ram! I believe WoW says req is 1gig but i would go with about 2gigs of ram and a 1.8Ghz Processor minimum. I would say that will cost you about $350? If you can’t afford it just don’t bother getting a new computer because the game just will not be enjoyable(trust me i’ve been there). Oh and if ur getting a laptop get a cooling system which is about $20 so your comp doesn’t overheat
There is really no BEST laptop brand as manufacturers all have produced “Gold” and “Lemons” in their time.
Most answers will tell you to buy “THIS” or “THAT” brand because it is the best, just remember that it is the best for THEM not for you.
Most people will tell you of a best “brand” but their actual answer is based on the MODEL they have not the entire brand and you should not judge a company by ONE model as they make hundreds of them.
As for the last awhile part, please remember that ALL consumer-level Laptops / Notebooks / Netbooks are built for PORTABILITY and not for DURABILITY or LONGEVITY.
If you want your laptop to last, just take good care of it, whatever brand you end up getting !
This being said, here is how to do more precise research to find the best one for YOU:
The first step is to get information on the laptops that you are interested in and, as a second step, to search online at web stores (like Amazon or similar) or at retail shops (BestBuy, staples or similar) for the best deals on the ones you would really like to have based on your search.
This way, you get the best working laptops at the best prices.
As laptop specs change often, it is good to get non-vendor/non-partisan/non-groupie information so you should do some checking on these review/guide sites to help fine tune your search.
At each site, start by checking models and then compare them with others (or against each other) by choosing different options using boxes and drop down menus to customize the search and get what you want in your laptop ( there is even a way on some of those sites to look by inputting the price you are willing to pay to minimize the impact on your wallet ).
Your time will not be wasted (after all, you get all this from the comfort of your home) and you should find something to your liking and budget.
P.S.: By the way, I own a Dell but it’s an older model (2002) on the way out soon (to be replaced by a still unknown brand as I will be doing research).
seriously bob, that had to be the biggest rip off that dell has ever tried to shove down the throats of the masses. Only a doctor with kids that play wow and have no computer sense what-so-ever would buy that. It is basically a dell xps studio edition laptop(a 1800 dollar value) for 4400 dollars, thats an expensive horde and alliance emblem
