Since you already own a desktop system, I would look for a laptop that complements your desktop, not replaces it. Thus, light, portable, with a long battery life, since you have a desktop as a fall back option. As long as the laptop has a separate video processor and a newer CPU, it will most likely play WoW just fine. The MacBook Airs (either 11" or 13" model) are pretty much the industrial design I would look for in a laptop, even though I would never buy one, as I'm too tied to Windows based software. They are large enough to have a full sized keyboard, light enough (2.5 lbs) to be portable, 7+ hour battery life, a separate GPU to speed up video, and a SSD to keep it silent. It's possible to find similarly designed Windows laptops, but the MacBook Air is ubiquitous, so it's easy to use it as your reference point when looking around. -- // T.Hsu
