Did you catch the lines about pre-installed productivity software? Yeah, like this thing is designed to do work! Even funnier is when you read the next line where is says no entertainment software is pre-installed! Is that an intentional burn or just an oversight?

So, aside from the designs on the laptop what makes this is a World of Warcraft system?

Golden Ticket for a custom FigurePrint of your in-game World of Warcraft character.
World of Warcraft Beta Club Card, granting access to future beta tests.
Collector's Edition Account Upgrade Certificate, allowing access to previously exclusive pets.
Original desktop background artwork and screensavers.
Warcraft-themed backpack, t-shirt and mouse pad.
World of Warcraft Expansion: The Burning Crusade.

Funny how they include a mouse pad for a laptop computer. I guess you can add one on later.

If you take your World of Warcraft seriously would you want to be seen playing the game on anything less than this?
