hey, I'm from Australia so any laptops found in an australian store would be a great help, I'm looking to spend AROUND $1000 AUD.
All of my mates have told me i'm looking for about 2gb ram and a pretty high quality graphics card, anything else would help like amount of HDD, size of the CPU etc, or if you're feeling kind would you be able to link me a site for a good laptop to buy. I have a job atm and don't currently have anywhere near $1000, thats just my aim, so the cheaper the better!
thanks for the help, and remember its $1000 AUD.

I can recommend a sight with good pc's, I have personally used 2 of their built computers, and find the quality and prices to be great. That being said, I have no idea what it would cost to ship to you, nor what australian dollars do as compared to the u.s dollar.
More importantly if you are looking for a pc to play games on specifically wow, a desktop is the cheaper option, and a good one that will easily run wow can be had for 600 american, that isnt to say there arent better for a lot more money, but id say a pentium 4 with a 9800 gtx oc and 2 mb ram on win xp will handle it pretty well. I would start by looking for one similar to that and price it, and go up from there. (at least with desktops) A laptop may indeed have a better cpu but I havent seen a much better video card than the 9800 gtx for any reasonable price. I also doubt you could get a comparable system to the core2 duo desktop and 9800 gtx on a laptop for under a 1000 american. Id would love to be proved wrong tho so if anyone else can help id love to hear it as well. I am strictly a desktop user/owner and have little use or experience with the laptops.

If my memory serves, you're looking at about $800 USD. Not going to find a gaming laptop for that amount. $1100 USD is more the price range for an acceptable gaming laptop and $1500 USD will get you into the good/better range.
Personally I'm looking at an ASUS for when I start classes in a few weeks. It has it's flaws but for the price it's pretty solid.
Ok i have found a gaming laptop pc, here are the details listed below.....

woops forgot to say, it is bought from ibuypower.com, and i believe they only ship to U.S. and canada normally but you may be able to figure soething out or have them ship after payment is recieved or something but the price if the earlier post on the conversion rate is correct is near what you want
