i am interseted in buying the tx2 standard specs from best buy

www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuid=9375927&type=product&id=1218094583196

 I want the tablet functions for school but still want to play world of warcraft at some capacity. My old laptop Hp pavilion dv6000 is a year and one week old ( just out of warranty) when i decided to trip over the plug and brake it. I did not have a problem playing wow on it. So i was just wondering if anyone who had the hp touchsmart tx2 and plays wow could tell me the settings and framerate they get or if someone who is more computer savy then myself can tell me what i can expect to get from this laptop.

also i will probably play for long periods of time at some points and from the research i have done on this laptop so far i have heard a big problem with heat. The dv6000 at some points during my wow marathon would produce alot of heat and i'm just wondering how hot this computer will actually get while playing a game for 4+ hours.

this thing gets really hot just using onenote! the fan seems effective although loud. The video card is not all too great either, so It's great for homework and taking notes, but even HD youtube videos seem to stutter during playback.

The HP TouchSmart tx2z ships with the ATI Radeon HD 3200 64MB Display Cache Memory. This is sufficient for most applications a tablet notebook like the tx2z would be used for, as well as "light" casual gaming.

It easily exceeds the minimum requirements to play World of Warcraft, but it does not meet the recommended graphics requirements. This means that you'll have to turn off some of the visual goodies or run the game at a lower resolution.
