Rate this laptop - Could it run games smoothly?

[DetailedGuidesGuy]

Hey, recently i've been browsing the web to try and find a decent laptop, at an affordable price. I think i've found the one, but i want to know what you guys think (Considering there are some experts here ^_^)

My budget:
£400 (GBP, NOT Dollars).

Here's what i have been looking at.

http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/565105/TOSHIBA-L300-29X/tab/specification#spec

4GB Ram, 250GB HD and a seemingly good graphics card.

The only thing i'm worried about, though, is the Processor. Looking through the reviews, it seems to get 4/5 stars every time, and wherever there is a negative, it's generally about the processor.

Processor Intel Celeron Dual Core
Intel Processor Star Rating Intel 1 star processor

1 Star processor? Doesn't sound too good.

So what i want to know is:

Will the processor become a problem?

Will the laptop be able to run games such as World of Warcraft smoothly, with a fair FPS?

The ram and memory seem good, but the processor doesn't sound like it would run too smoothly.

What i was thinking, however, i was looking for more suggestions as to what other kind of laptop to get Or maybe for an expert who can give me a straight answer to the question 'Will WoW run smoothly or not'.

I suppose this won't work if you don't have the laptop but -

It's a nifty site, has tons of games to check.

I already knew about it, but thanks anyway

Yeah, it's not too helpful since i don't have the laptop, but if i go and see it in-store, providing it was connected to the internet i could quickly run that test

I believe this resource may be valuable in your search for a solid processor so you can actually see where exactly the processor falls on Intel's rating scale. http://www.intel.com/consumer/rating.htm

The T3000, which you have or would be getting with this laptop, is on the lowest tier.

Hope I helped, feel free to add me on msn if you would lke anymore help with building/buying this laptop, and good luck.

Thanks, i will add you. Seems that laptop isn't the one for me. A bit of a let-down, considering the rest of the specs are perfect for me.

That would barley run runescape its not even a video card.If you want something for gaming i highly recommend a desktop cause if you actually want a good laptop to play games it would cost around 800-1000+ for a good laptop when you can get a desktop for about 500 with at least a 9500gt witch will run most games perfect.

you pulled that out of your ass, they're very reliable and reasonably priced. Dells have the highest crash rate but are priced accordingly.

I believe you are right, plus the whole OEM thing

I know that with desktop computers you can get more for your money. That's pretty much common sense. But, my dad has just moved out and i go to friends house's regularly, it will be more convenient to have a laptop.

Thanks for clearing that up.

For gaming you have to look into laptops with seperate (not integrated) graphics cards.

i think any computer for 400 will be fine....

celeron worst processor ever 4/10.

It MIGHT run WoW on lowest settings.
If you want a fairly good gaming laptop then you need a separate graphics card. This laptop has its graphics card built onto the motherboard. Also the processor sucks... for 400gbp you dont get much of a gaming laptop...
