Other than that... wow sets its display and function settings according to what it detects in your system.
Not sure much more can be done than a mouse.... except getting speakers as well. LOL"The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas."

Most of my wow experience has been on a laptop without a mouse. There are times it can be really tough to click on what you want to (pvp is a nightmare with a touchpad), but most of the time you can use Tab to target the nearest enemy, and if you're a lock/hunter you can make a macro to have your pet attack whatever target is closest, then hotbar it. Minimizing your touchpad use is big on keeping the /played time down.
Now that I think about it, I don't know if I'll ever go back to using a mouse. I feel like I can get to the higher number hotbar abilities faster without one. Who knows though, maybe I'm just crazy.Lifetime Natural Bodybuilder

I play on both desktop and laptop (when I'm at work) and having a mouse is definitely something needed to make life easier if you're used to desktop playing. Luckily you can find a good selection of mice for a laptop that aren't expensive.My Flight Path Follies guide

All I play on is a lap top.
first Get a 10 key pad it makes it much easier to map keys.
I had a problem with the key pad sliding around on the lap table I always use when playing. I took velcro squares and put on the corners of both the laptop and the keypad. Keeps them both in the right place.
I personally don't like seperate keyboards, it puts me too far from the screen and I don't have the space to use a seperate monitor.

Or just do like I did, get a laptop designed for gaming. Mine came with a very nice graphics card separate from the motherboard, built in 5.1 speaker system, separate number pad, etc. All I've had to do was add a mouse instead of the touch pad and it's almost like playing on my desktop.My Flight Path Follies guide

If you play and work at home and your laptop does not have a large display and / or resolution you may consider a monitor. If you have a DVI or HDMI output at the laptop it is pretty easy to connect a 22 inch widescreen display which makes life in WoW much better as you have more space for your addons.
But be aware that 1680*1050 pixels require a good video card and CPU in the laptop.
