Is it good enough?

Ah yes, another "is this notebook good enough?" thread.

I'm in the market to purchase a notebook, and being as this is my first laptop purchase, I want to make sure I'm not gonna screw it up and get something that sucks.

I'd like to be able to play WoW smoothly, preferably with medium-high settings. textures are nice, after all.

I've been looking at the Sony Vaio SZ670N model advertised on Amazon.com and I was wondering if you experts here could tell me if I can get the desired results from it.

here's what the description says.
  • Sleekly designed, lightweight notebook with 13.3-inch screen (with Webcam), 4-pound black carbon fiber case
  • 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 processor, ReadyDrive hybrid hard drive system (160 GB HDD with 256 MB flash RAM), 2 GB RAM (4 GB max), dual-layer DVD drive
  • Connectivity: 2 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA, Quad-mode Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n), Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, multi-format memory card reader
  • Hybrid Graphics System lets toggle between NVidia GeForce Go 8400M (up to 831 MB shared) and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (358 MB shared)
  • Pre-installed with Windows Vista Business
the brand name isn't necessary, but I kinda did have my little heart set on having a Vaio notebook since I've gotten such great performance from my desktop. it might also help to note that I plan on purchasing extra RAM, if it'll help.

so is it good enough? or am I gonna have to start from square one with this research thing? *rips hair out*

any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. =D
