Will this Toshiba laptop be good for me?

[leftyytwo]

Im looking to buy http://www.newegg.co?m/Product/Product.asp?x?Item=N82E1683411453?4 and was wondering if I would be able to play WoW decently without lagging too much( maybe a little counter strike 1.6 aswell) but mainly playing World of Warcraft. I also use it for everyday web surfing and talking, I also enjoy having multiple tabs open at once such as internet, msn, and aim. Will this lap top be good for me? Its the perfect price for me but im not sure about the specs.

TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5907 NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core T3200(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500M - Retail

Thank you!

If you don't mind running on low/medium settings with no AA/AF and 1280 resolution or lower, you should be able to maintain 20-30 FPS in WoW and Counter Strike. (Just estimates on the numbers based on the specs since I can't find any benchmarks for this specific laptop.)

Fardringle has pretty much said it all.

The Intel GMA 4500M is weak hardware acceleration for games. CPU power can only get you so far with graphically intensive games, after which the video hardware becomes the limiting factor.

Reading up on the 4500M it sounds like lower resolutions with lower settings should run most games, but don't expect to be running 4xAA with full lighting/shadows/effects running and high framerates.

Other than games, this laptop (and most any other laptop sold today with more than 1GB of RAM) should easily handle everything else you've described.
