Hi y’all, so I’ve been playing WoW on a 2013 Macbook Pro 13’ for a couple years now, and am a pretty casual player in terms of competitiveness / content — I just log lots of hours in general though. I’m looking to update to a gamer laptop and was advised to get a Lenovo (possibly a Thinkpad) that I would just use for WoW (cause I use a Macbook for work as an art director and would like to not stress out the Mac system playing WoW.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for the ideal WoW laptop that I wouldn’t need to build and would cost under 1k? Theres currently Labor Day / back to school sales I’m trying to take advantage of too. The recommended / minimum requirements are here and I was looking at their list and comparing models —

would playing on an Integrated Intel UHD Graphics card / 256GB hard drive / i5-1035G1 processor be so bad if I can save $150+?

I was thinking of getting the Lenovo Thinkpad E595 (AMD) for Uni. It meets all the requirements for WoW even with the integrated graphics. It’s closer to 2,000 AUD, but I can get it at a 50% discount on their education store by signing in with my University login. Do you have any options like that available to you?

Yeah lots of options like that, I guess what I’m trying to figure out is what it’s like playing on an Integrated Intel UHD Graphics and an i5 processor

I use this to play League, Warcraft and video editing no issue. Should run level 6-7 settings 45-60fps all day even in Shadowlands.
