Laptops in general are not for gaming, and the ones that can actually manage to play some of the modern games decently are very pricey. You should be looking for a laptop with an Nvidia 8600M chip or better (8800M GTX) Of the two laptops you linked to the Packard has the better cpu but the least desirable gpu and the Compaq has the better gpu but not as desirable cpu, neither will play games to any level of satifaction and may not be able to run some at all. If you want a laptop for gaming then this one is the closest to meeting any type of gaming performance available at Curry's.......http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...&category_oid=

Laptops available in the UK....
HP Pavilion dv9560ea Notebook PC (GT432EA) £800 incl vat
HP Pavilion dv6680ea Notebook PC (GZ933EA) £899 incl vat
A bit less expensive..... but should be able to play WOW
InspironTM 1520 £389 incl vat & shipping
InspironTM 1720 £489 incl vat & shipping
I reccomend that you upgrade any computer to 2Gb of memory, Acer UK should also have similar laptops with the 8400M/8600M in similar price ranges.
