Will the new Macbook run WoW on full settings?

Will it run it perfectly, or will it be too frustrating on full settings?
I don't see any point of getting a Macbook Pro (base model) right now just for the graphics card...
Thanks.

These forums are great, a lot better then asking GameFAQS...
(Although due to the time differences i get answers a bit quicker there, but the quality is what is important and is worth waiting a little bit longer for!)
The replies i got there consisted of "64mb shared?!? it won't even load on normal settings" "Buy a new computer, mac is trash."
Thank you for your replies.
btw, My main is Flashleet on Barthilias if by chance any of you guys play on my server :P

    The Apple Support Communities Terms of Use says specifically that you are to avoid rumor about unanounced Apple products.
    And besides that, no one, I repeat NO ONE here knows.

  • When will the new Macbook appear?

    Hello, I want to buy a MacBook and I am not sure if I should buy the current one or if I should wait till the new one appears. When will the new Macbook appear?

    While new MacBooks have not been announced, I would stay away from getting a new MacBook right now.  If you can afford the slightly higher price of a 13" MacBook Pro, that would be a good choice.  The current MacBooks are very outdated.  The Core 2 Duo processor that they use has not been used by other major manufacturers for several years now in this class of machine (you can still find them in some ultra portables... but even most of those have moved up to the Core "i" series).  The current 13" MacBook Pro has the most current hardware commercially available at the moment.

  • Will the new MacBook Air be able to handle what I need it for?

    I'm about to buy my first ever Mac, exciting right?
    Anywho, I was set on getting a MacBook (or possibly pro) then the new MacBook Air came out, after looking at it and doing a bit of research it seems to be a fantastic computer but I'm not sure if it can handle what I'll be using it for.
    On a general day to day basis, I use these programs:
    - a Web Browser (surfing the web and watching online video mostly)
    - iTunes
    - Scrivener (Writing Software)
    - Skype
    - AIM
    - Microsoft Office
    On about a weekly+ basis, I'll be using these programs:
    - iMovie
    - Adobe Flash CS5 Professional
    - Adobe Photoshop CS5
    - Other Adobe programs?
    Other little tidbits that may be helpful:
    - I'm a college student (And though I don't write a lot of essays, stupid technical classes, I will next year because...)
    - I'll most likely major in Graphic Design, English or both.
    - I spend a lot of time on the computer.
    - I'm not a gamer, outside of the occasional online game
    - I'm not planning on keeping too much on the computer. (Only programs and whatever project(s) I'm currently working on. Everything else will be kept in an external hard drive or Dropbox. Too keep away clutter and because having so many PC's crash on me has made me paranoid.)
    I like the new MacBook Air because it's small and light and has the perfect amount of battery to fit my needs (I hardly ever keep my computer away from a plug for more than 7 hours) Also I really never use my CD drive on my laptop, in fact I think I only used it twice this past year. So really my only concern is that I'll buy it and end up discovering that it doesn't fit my needs, hence this post.
    Beyond this I only have three questions:
    1.) How much memory should I have? (I do want some wiggle room)
    2.) Does a mini jack mean I have to buy special headphones or an adapter?
    3.) Does the Facetime Camera = Web Cam? Can I use it for the same purposes? (ex. taking photos/videos, video chat through Skype, etc.)
    And the main question: Would the New MacBook Air work for me? If not, which Mac should I get instead? (I'm getting a 13" laptop across the board)
    And I probably posted way too much information about my computer life, but if there is anything I learned from taking technical classes its that the more information I can give the better suited computer you can advice me to get.
    So thanks to anyone who responds!

    The extra 2GB would make any computer run faster. Could you maybe explain more?
    Absolutely. The 13" MBA (baseline configuration) at $1299 weighs in at $100 more than the 13" MBP, upgrade the MBA to 4GB and it's now $200 more. So you're paying more money for comparable or "slightly" better performance.
    There's been a lot of performance benchmarks released over the past 4 days since I made my initial remark. Not to mention in that time I've had the opportunity to use a 13" MBA with 2GB & 4GB of RAM, although I had more time with the 2GB model. Some observations:
    1.) What happens when you need to install something that's only available via CD or DVD? Part two of that question, what happens if you don't have access to a computer with an optical drive to share over to the MBA?
    2.) What if you require FireWire connectivity or need to troubleshoot your computer via TDM?
    3.) How do you manage 128GB?
    4.) How do you run a presentation from the machine with an IR-base remote?
    Now, don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of the MBA, I was one of the first in line to buy one when the first generation came out and I made the 2nd generation MBA my "go to" mobile computer for well over a year. I've been very pleased with currently MBA, but it's not a jack of all trades and while it may be faster than my 13" MBP there are still scenarios that require features the MBP has 'standard' that the MBA does not offer or requires more $$ to implement.
    My initial comment about "sluggish" performance was in respect to LightRoom3, Starcraft II, World of Warcraft and Adobe Photoshop CS5. I'll absolutely agree that equalizing the RAM would definitely help to level the playing field but thus far in my testing with the 13" MBA @ 4GB versus the 13" MBP @ 4GB there's still some noticeable difference in favor of the MBP.

  • Will the new Macbook be offered for sale on Amazon?

    I'm interested in buying the new Macbook 2015. I was wondering if it will be offered on sale from third-party retailers, specifically Amazon.
    Thanks!

    How the heck would we know that?
    Did you ever think of asking Amazon when they expect to have it?

  • Will the new iMac run Motion 3?

    I can't really afford to go to the Mac Pro. I am looking at the new iMac (24 inch, 2.8 processor model), and wondering if it will run Motion 3? I know it won't be ideal, but still I hope that it will suffice for a high-end amateur user.
    I currently run Motion 2 on a Macbook, which is obviously not ideal, but at least somewhat works.

    No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

  • Will the New MaPro running Maveriks do a select boot from an external HD of older OSX versions?

    Hi...
    I was wondering if the new MacPro will do an Option selective boot of an external HD bootable backup made using SuperDuper?  The drive would be a FW800 external connected via adaptor as the nMP has nonly TB and USB 3 ports.

    As shipped, the new MacPro late 2103 will boot ONLY from the software it shipped with, or a re-load of the software it shipped with. Nothing older.
    You may be able to install and fiddle with Virtualization software to get an older version to run under a Hypervisor, but it will be some work.

  • When will the New MacBook be available in store ?

    I went into my local Apple store on Friday morning with the intention of buying a new MacBook but none was available not even to see. I have been checking every day and of the 14 April still none are in store. I do not wish to order on-line because I'm not sure what colour I will go for until I actually see it in the flesh so to speak. It's very poor customer service that models are not available for purchase in-store! No-one at the store could confirm when they are likely to have any even for viewing...

  • Will the new iMac run MSOffice 2004?

    I have been running MS Office 2004 for Mac on my Macs since, oh, around 2004.  I'm completely happy with it.  I don't need any new features.  I know it inside and out and I don't want to learn a new version.
    Will a brand new iMac run my Office 2004 software?  Or will this software be obsolete on a new machine?

    No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

  • Can I be the first to ask Will the new iPhone run Aperture?

    And will Aperture support RAW files from this new camera phone?
    C'mon!! WHY NOT!!!
    Sorry, could not resist

    I came to the forum tonight, specifically looking for someone to ask this question; it was inevitable. LOL.
    For more realistic issues:
    I hope the iPhone will sync with specified Aperture albums, not just iPhoto albums.
    And I wonder if someone will make an iPod adaptor (which is what the iPhone seems to use) to display 1024x768 images so you can use iPhone's photo app to display slideshows on a video projector. Or maybe I should just continue using my MacBook Pro.

  • Will the new macbook pro retina's have a dedicated graphics card?

    I know that Intel released their new Haswell processors that are energy efficient but I want that graphics power of dedicated graphics. It wouldn't be cool if the Macbook Pro Retina basically gets a downgrade in graphics. I am however all for duel graphics like the current models have.

    Nobody can answer this question, unfortunately.

  • When will the new Macbook Air be available in Shanghai, China?

    The website says that it is still going through some kind of regulations approval.  Will Apple Stores have it in stock earlier?

    Notice that you can't order it.  The red text at the bottom says that they can't ship until they get agency approvals.  Common problem in China, and the wait time varies, but I was wondering if anyone here had any information that would provide an estimate on when the ordering would be activated.

  • Will the new MacBook have hardware-accelerated DVD/HDTV and graphics?

    not clear from the descriptions I've seen, but was a big limitation in OS X and was hoping this might change with the Intel introduction. Would be a big help for DVD Player and EyeTV HDTV playback, etc.

    Answered in the MacBook discussion (which was formed after I posted the question)

  • Will cs5 run on the new macbook air?

    The new macbook air has no hard drive, but instead an internal 128gb flash drive attached directly to the motherboard. It uses the OSX platform. Will the air run cs5?
    Thanks!

    Andrew,
    Sorry to be late in replying but I can assure you that CS5 is running great on the MacBook Air 11" with no issues.
