I want to buy my wife a Laptop to introduce her to the game to play with me, she doesn’t want a desktop but I don’t know anything about Laptops because I have only used Desktops, can anybody recommend what Laptop they are using or what’s good? I guess the budget would be $2,500, I don’t want to go higher than that. Thank you for any help.
At the bare minimum, you want something with a 4070 in it. If you’re going to spend $2500 max, you can get something with a 4080/4090 in it easily.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (2023) with a 4090 and 32GB RAM is like $2349.99 at their website right now. They also have a Legion Pro 7i (2024) for like $2299.99 at their website. You’ll want to use discount codes on Lenovo of: BUYMORELENOVO and/or Crazylegion

Thank you very much!
GPU is not what you should focus on, not even in a laptop. Sure, you don’t want a laptop that is using integrated video, but you don’t need to spend $$$ on a laptop with a mobile 4090 either.
CPU performance is what you should focus on. Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs are a dumpster fire. They consume way too much power, and put off way too much heat, which is the last thing you want in a laptop. The mobile parts are not as bad as the desktop parts in that respect, but that power/heat reduction comes at the expense of performance. Nothing is free.
WoW absolutely loves AMD X3D CPUs. They are miles ahead of Intel CPUs when it comes to WoW. Laptops with the new AMD 7945HX3D CPU are now available. This is what you should seek out. It would slaughter the above mentioned Lenovo, even if you got a model with a 7945HX3D and a cheaper GPU, since CPU performance is absolutely paramount when it comes to WoW.
