I'm looking for at least an i5 processor or something similar, 300gb or more HDD, 6gb or more RAM, and a gfx card that can play World of Warcraft on high settings (not bothered about ultra). It also has to be good for DAW use and audio recording. I use and audio interface for this so I won't worry about the laptops soundcard. Decent cooling would be nice too. Any recommendations?
This laptop looks great but I can't find a single review for it. Does anybody have an opinion on it? Buy HP DV7-7063EA Laptop, Beats Edition, Intel Core i7, 2.5GHz, 8GB RAM, 2TB with 17.3" Display online at JohnLewis.com
I have a recording studio, using Sonar X1. It looks like it would do what you want, for recording.
The one you picked out is good, but I found one that can do what you want, while not harming your wallet as much, at the sacrifice of, for lack of a better term, not top of the line parts....I don't know about the gaming with intel graphics though...

I would say get an apple computer. They are perfect for gaming and music production. Many of the song writers use Apples.
