Would I be able to run WoW on this Computer?Follow

Hey guys,

I was interested in getting a new laptop and had seen that the Asus Eee PC 1008HA was in my price-range. I was wondering, would WoW run on this?
Thanks in advance!

It looks like a high-end netbook to me. As long as you aren't looking for extreme performance, I would guess it will probably be ok.

One thing I would like to mention though - if you are going to go the laptop route you will want to get a laptop that has a very good cooling system (I'd also recommend a cooling pad). I have run WoW without too much trouble on an IBM thinkpad t42 and a Dell D600 (much older hardware) but sometimes the game really heats up the graphics chip and if you don't keep that heat down, it will start to dump the load on the CPU and your frame rate will choke. That would be your major worry with just about any laptop not specifically built for gaming.

Ok, thanks a lot! I'll probably go to Micro Center or someplace like that and talk to someone there too.
Thanks again!
