Couple of questions about notebook plz

Hello Everyone,
I am looking into this notebook:

IbuyPower Battalion 101 CZ-10 Ultra

Intel® Core 2 Duo Mobile P8700 Dual-Core Processor (2x 2.53GHz/3MB Cache/1066FSB)

4GB [2GB x 2] 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM

Mobility DDR3 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4650 PCI-Express 3D Video [CZ-10 Ultra]

250 GB 7200rpm Serial-ATA Super Slim Notebook Hard Drive

Questions:
1. I am not a huge gamer, just world of warcraft and some photoshop work, will this notebook do?
2. Anyone have experience with ibuypower?
3. I have a notebook with a Turion 64 x2 TL-64 that seems really slow, which is better? the core duo p8700 or my current tl-64?

Thank you so much!

1.) Yes, it will do quite well for you.

2.) I haven't had any direct experiences with them.

3.) The Intel P8700 should be noticeably more powerful than your current Turion processor.

I've only used an iBuyPower notebook briefly, but I'll chip in on the things I noticed:

- Headphone placement is annoying. If you use headphones without a square end adapter they're going to get knocked out of the plug quite often.
- Case is really solid. It looks good too -- no complaints here.
- The keyboard isn't nice for typing long documents. It's fine for gaming and multimedia, but if you're using the laptop for work it might be worth looking at something else.
