Buying brother a Laptop to Play WoW/LoL Etc

[xPhantam]

Okay as the title states I will be buying my brother a new laptop as his current one is my old one.

So - Around 6 years old.

All he plays well wants to play as of now is World of Warcraft and League of Legends.

He'd like to dabble in a bit of Diablo 3 but he said his main two are the ones mentioned above.

Now unfortunately I do not have a lot of money to spend, so I found this laptop and was wondering if any of you good people could tell me how well it would run each game and what graphics settings. Also if it will still be good come the new expansion for WoW as my brother will probably be rinsing the game at that time ^^

I know it's not brilliant, but do remember it's only for them two games.

I've looked around quite a bit and this is the only Laptop for this price well that I could see, that offered an okayish processor and a dedicated GPU instead of the intergrated. ( I dislike Intergrated )

So if you could tell me how well it'd run the games, or perhaps if you find any laptops the same price or a margin bit more that can perform well I'd totally appreciate it guys ^^

Many thanks

Hey, really nice of you to buy your brother a laptop
LoL and WoW are mmo/mmorpg (not really sure
That means that they use the CPU more than the GPU
I would personally look for an i5 CPU and dont really bother that much for the GPU for the MMO games
I can look for some laptops if you would like i just need a budget and a prefered-country (USA, UK, India...etc) website

That isn't the best laptop to play WoW and LoL but it will definitely play both of those games. Same as Diablo 3. I'd try getting a Lenovo Ideapad Y510P.

People still play WoW? haha, the new updated models/textures don't looks too bad but not great either the human male looks like an ape....haha

Well UK would be the pref Country, as it'd really help. Sorry I took so long to reply been busy ^^

The budget In all honesty I could probably bump up to around £400 tops as I can't spend to much otherwise, I put myself in trouble money wise XD

Thanks for all the awesome reply's really helped ^^

Well that computer could handle all three games so go ahead and get it.

this could probably handle them all a bit better, it'll play diablo at medium-ish settings.

You serious? both of those Asus laptops would bottleneck badly in even WoW....those CPU's are really slow....and very low end GPU.....

I have no idea where you're getting your information prom. I've seen Wow played on a single core atom processor, any processor can run wow.
well of course its a low end GPU. He has only £400. Do you have a better option, because its a miracle that I could find something with a dedicated GPU in the first place.

No I mean like heavy populated area's/parts of the game that rig is going to be lag/stutter horribly, Where do I get my information? Think I would know been around off and on with the game since BC.....and the fact that the new upcoming Xpac will have some quite new updated textures.....You seriously should get something better....
