Maybe. Blizzard recommends a standalone GPU for their games. This GPU is built into the CPU and has a poor performance rating compared to the minimum options required for play.

It will, but you might not get max settings with that graphics chip.
8 GB of RAM isn’t where I’d want to be but it works.
Everything else looks solid.
If you have a bigger budget I would still look for something slightly better, if you can.
I’m not looking for max settings, probably not even medium. I would just want to be secure that it could handle the game, raids and pvp without becoming a slide show.
I’m trying to find something that’s cheap $600.00 or under but also not a gaming laptop because they’re built like the millennium falcon. It’s a brutal reality because almost everything I’ve found in that price has similar specs.
This isn’t it, then.
A score of 706 points above the bare minimum is going to be undesirable if you plan to do anything other than play solo. The frame rate won’t be able to handle crowded areas or the full graphic effects of encounters. And if you include addons or other software like Discord running in the background, it may be unplayable.
Ok, well thank you very much! I’ll just keep doing my research for a laptop.
You’re not going to be able to reliably raid at this price point.
Double that and you’ll get closer to the mark.
There are sites (including Amazon) that will finance a laptop (also try clxgaming.com).
Look for something with good single-core performance, a standalone GPU, and an SSD. Playing WoW on an external drive is not recommended (per staff). For memory, 8GB is workable, but it will feel rough.
I recommend checking out Best Buy’s open box area on their website for deals.
Alright, thank you!
It won’t let you reply to yourself without some forum history 
Sorry, that was the wrong link.
Try this one instead:
This is where I bought my current desktop. They let you finance through a third company (one that I’ve seen many other sites use).
the laptop i use is a Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15II
some info

I’ve found this laptop and I think I’ll probably go for it, I found it for under $700.
