I really like it but I need to know if it will be able to run WoW on minimum settings.... It has the integrated ATI 200M IGP video card with 128MB of DEDICATED memory (unusual for an integrated card). Because of this, I heard it would be well capable of playing World of Warcraft....is this true? |
You also wanted a light laptop with good battery life. I guarantee that one will not meet those criteria. And as I said, HPs are mediocre at best and downright terrible at worst. I have never had a good experience with a consumer-level HP or Compaq laptop.
Take a look at this page:

HP and Compaq are now the same company, so the Compaq ratings also apply to HP PCs. As you can see, Dell and IBM are tops for laptops. I might buy a Toshiba considering their excellent reliability, but I wouldn't buy anything else.
