WoW requires less resources than most modern games, and exactly what kind of macbook pro is it she's got? There's a myriad of different configurations.

Doesn't really change anything though :p, no sort of software update will significantly improve that laptop, and regardless of how good that macbook pro is, you can't upgrade John's laptop to a macbook without replacing the entire laptop. As I understand his post, he wants to keep his current laptop, not buy a new one.
