You can TECHNICALLY run it, but probably with very low resolution and on the lowest settings. I can run WoW reasonably with a 128MB dedicated card, 1.73 GHz Pentium-M and 1 GB of RAM.

No, sorry. It's not playable with that graphic card. Believe me, it may load, and run, but not playable.

ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570, 512MB

Having played WoW (too much) on a lot of Laptops, either of those would have no problem at all running WoW at very acceptable resolutions and frame rates. Much older equipment can chug through it, those would have no issues.

I ran WOTLK on a 1.73GHz Pentium-M, 1 GB of RAM, and a MR X300 (128MB version).

That should be plenty enough to play the game.. though I did have some lag issues in heavily populated areas. I'm not sure if it was my computer or my internet though.

seriously the best place to get a laptop from is UK Laptops Direct they are possibly the cheapest place to pick up a laptop from!

I used to play WOW on an IBM T30 that had a Pentium 4 1.8GHz and 768MB RAM and it was playable until 1 RAM slot died and I only had 256MB swapping the stick round so I got 512MB made it just about playable again but not really.
