Depending on when and if Onlive works, you might get a beta for WoW that'll work on most Macs. Macbook should do most - especially the graphics for the new ones.
I have a white macbook that I bought in Feb. I upgraded it to 4gb of memory from crucial.com and I use it to play wow. I don't experience any issues like lag or slow downs.
You will need to use an external mouse.
If you are considering a desktop, my son plays on one of the new 20" iMac (the base model) and he has no issues at all with all setting on max except shadows. I have a unibody MBP with an external monitor and it works great on my computer, but that may be a little more than you want to spend.

I recommend using an iMac. The screen size in really nice and you get a more power for your money.
A 24" iMac with a 512MB graphics card would be the best.
The 20" iMac would be good if you need something more portable. I bought an iLugger case for my 20" and carry it around all the time.
I'd go with a 24" iMac. I have a 13" MacBook and it plays WoW just fine. Just max out your ram.

really any macbook w/ at least x3100 is fine, I want to say even GMA950 could run it but eh go atleast x3100. Now ask yourself if you want notebook or desktop.
