We're not exactly sure what kind of impression they'd make during a presentation or business meeting, but luckily for sales of Dell's upcoming
World of Warcraft edition XPS
M1730 laptop, most folks who would purchase such a product have long ago fled corporate America for the privacy and creepy ambiance of their basements. Seriously, though, the pair of special edition Horde and Alliance notebooks are a hardcore fan's dream come true, featuring WOW artwork all over the place along with all the current games and patches preloaded. What's more, the bonus swag here is off the hook, including a special box full of items related to the game and an envelope containing such goodies as beta tester privileges and a free in-game pet, whatever that means. Dell also claims that the minimum configuration specs have been bumped as compared to the plain Jane M1730, but like pricing for this package which goes on sale next week, specifics remain a mystery.
Update: As commenter Ryan points out, specs and pricing are now
up on Dell's retail site. The good news is that even a barebones rig gives you a 2.2GHz T7500 Core 2 Duo, 2GB of DDR2, and 160GB of storage; the bad news is that such a configuration starts at $4,500 and only goes north.

What is wrong with all you people... WoW is a game and should remain a game. Why would you pay extra to have the WoW Logo slapped onto your laptop? Go buy yourself some stickers and put them on your existing laptop. What a waste of money!!!!!!
Huge douche edition....
Horde > Alliance
It's a waste to play WoW in that beast.
You do know WOW play good on a regular notebook?
wow...
bleh... WoW and Dell... Two of the worst things in life... Combined.
Kill me now, the shittyness can only get worse.
how can you become addicted to WoW? It gets very boring after the first hour. It isn't fun to constantly have get 4 feathers or 12 cogs every damn quest. I honestly tried to get addicted and to no avail. But whatever. not my problem. Sucks for all who are.
Watch, I'm going to get flamed by the hardcore WoW geeks. :)
WoW becomes addictive if you join a fun and active guild. However, if your guild falls apart due to drama issues, it becomes much easier to quit. That said, for those who watched last night's South Park (ironically sponsored by WoW): "Heroin Hero" = WoW
