Is an HP Pavilion Laptop PC with AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 Dual-Core Processor a good choice?
I am looking for a laptop for internet, word processing, and to play World of WarCraft on. Would this one be a good choice? I can't afford more than $600.

It should be fine. Games often require strong video performance, so it might not be the fastest machine around for games, but for all other purposes it should be okay. Nowadays even the most modest computer can easily handle Internet and e-mail and virtually all non-game applications, so you'll have plenty of power for that.
Keep in mind that you pay a very high price for the portability of a laptop. If you can get by with a desktop machine instead, you can get far more for your money. Desktop machines are also easier to upgrade and repair.
