Hello!
So, with the release of Shadowlands requirements, I’ve realized I need to upgrade my PC after several years, since many of the specs are below even the minimum standard. I would love to have a nice desktop (what I had before), however, my lifestyle currently involves a lot of travel. It’s unrealistic for me to carry around a heavy machine everywhere, so I’ve settled on needing a laptop for the foreseeable future.
I know next to nothing about computers, other than that the higher numbers on the specs are how you can tell if your PC can run the game, but I don’t know what those numbers mean. I’m looking to play WoW on High graphics with at least 60fps (raids, battlegrounds, etc. being an expected dip)! I’m not intending the laptop for many other games. Maybe Overwatch, but I’m mostly a console gamer outside of WoW!
The main concern I have with a laptop is the heat. I’ve heard some of them can get extremely hot, and I’d rather not worry about it exploding or something, haha! If it matters, I will be using it at a desk (likely plugged in, if battery-life is not so great). Could you guys recommend some laptops or brands or builds(?) for me with these goals and concerns in mind? I would really appreciate it, or any explanation that can help me choose a good product! My projected budget is around $2000.
Thank you guys!
