laptop GPU, question (for school and gaming)

[Delux]

hey everyone, starting school in september, and because its a networking course i need a laptop, im going to buy one, but it will be a home use and on the go aswell, (though i still will use my desktop PC) now this is going to be my student computer, but i would also like to run games (mostly WoW) what kind of GPU should i be looking at that comes in the laptop, ive been reading that i should look for dedicated, but i see 3 different GPUS, which one would be better?

NVIDIA GeForce 8200M
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
Intel GMA 4500M

i have a NVidia Geforce 8200M G in my presario notebook, its fairly good for an onboard.

overall though, ATI are more aimed at the gaming market i believe, although ive never actually used one myself (fixed a few computers with them installed though, they used to be a bitch to driver for).

im pretty sure WoW will run on any of those three, although i dont play WoW and havent ever experienced an Intel 4500M, so i cant help beyond this point.

peace

In this order, best to worst:

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200

NVIDIA GeForce 8200M

Intel GMA 4500M


The intel will probably require rather low settings on WoW

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200

NVIDIA GeForce 8200M

Intel GMA 4500M

I agree for your situation that is the order I would list them out in

I feel ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 is best out of these.

i know MSI from desktop computers and they are pretty mediocre PC parts, how are they in laptops? should i save myself the disappoint from seeing it tomorrow?

*REMINDER* the computer i need should be for school and gaming (mostly World of Warcraft)
