I run a Lenovo Z70:

i7, 16gb RAM, 1TB ssd, 17in screen.

and yes, I play WoW on it from time to time. Power wise, it's right on par with my home desktop except the home desktop is an i5.

Not at all, get a laptop w/ 2 gb ram and just make sure it has the capacity to hold and use 4 gb of ram.

Ram is incredibly easy to install.

Alright so I disregarded most of what everyone said baha

Walked into walmart today, saw these puppies on sale for 150$
https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Cobalt...-Home/47515388

figured I couldnt go wrong so I ask the guy to grab me one, he says they only have purple available... blue was the other option.

I said "cmon man the boys on PT are gonna gimme **** if I got a purple laptop, can you atleast give me a discount?"

He walks in back to grab a purple one, talks to his manager, rings me up...

99$... what a steal.

2gb of ram... so we will see how that does... but for the price I couldn't go wrong.

If all you're going to use it for is HPT, then it'll work for you.

The memory or hard drive cannot be upgraded in Stream laptops. It's all integrated hardware.
