I’m not a tech person but am looking a new Thinkbook for SL with these specs;

Processor - 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-1035G1 Processor (1.0 GHz, up to 3.60 GHz with Turbo Boost, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 6 MB Cache)

Operating System - Windows 10 Pro 64

Display Type - 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, 250 nits

Memory - 8 GB DDR4 2666MHz

Hard Drive - 256 GB PCIe SSD

Graphics - Integrated Intel UHD Graphics

I know the SSD card, 256GB hard drive, display, and memory will be good, but was curious about the i5 processor and integrated UHD graphics situation? thanks!

Integrated graphics aren’t meant for games. Look for something with a dedicated graphics chip.

your UHD G1 integrated graphics would meet Blizzard’s minimum requirements for shadowlands. Your experience would vary depending on your location, graphic settings, and how many other players are around you and their actions.

If you want specifics; the G1 has 8 more execution units then the UHD 630 which sounds great on paper but doubtful you would see a difference to the naked eye.
