Newer laptop models

Hey everyone, I’m in the market for a new gaming laptop, but it will primarily be for playing WoW or perhaps a couple other MMOs, but nothing too cutting edge. With the release of 12th generation and ti cards coming to laptops, would this make a huge difference in WoW performance playing at high settings? There are some deals in i9 11th gen and 3080 regular cards, which I’m sure would do well, but I also want to future-proof it for at least a couple years playing WoW at a relatively seamless experience, high traffic areas/raids possibly excluded. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Since laptops are not upgradeable, buy the most expensive you can afford. The newer the hardware is, the longer it lasts. Of course that means more $$$
