Even with the possible hd4330 upgrade vga it wouldn't be the most pleasant experience. That notebook is for basic uses.

You need to post the exact specifics of your laptop, what procesor, how much ram, etc etc.

If you go for the top one I see here, I'd say you could probably run it on low settings.

I've run WoW on a laptop couple years ago and I'd agree with Chris & Super. It'll run but on low settings and wont always be pleasant. In heavy raiding/aoe situations you might find yourself in a 5fps or lower situation. If you just want to casually level I don't see any problems with that if you don't mind not having eye candy.
