Hi there everyone,

So it's time a for a new laptop. Though I'm not playing WOW at the moment, I'm sure that I'll get the hankering again sooner rather than later. I've been using my wife's late 2010 macbook a fair amount recently, and quite honestly I like it for non-gaming use.

With that in mind what are people's thought's on the new Sandybridge macbook pro's for running 5 instances under bootcamp (after using IS Boxer I have no interest in trying to box without it). I'm thinking no problem whatsoever on low settings.

Obviously I'm ok with the ridiculous premium that Steve-O slaps on his toys.

2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5
... and let's say I throw in one of the those optidrives with an ssd as well to run WOW and IS Boxer.

At any rate comments are welcome.

I run 5 clients on a MBP that is 2 generations older (core2 duo) when I travel. Those specs should run 5 just fine.
