That is especially true for WoW. To run it, you don&#8217;t need anything special &#8211; a basic processor such as i3-5010U is enough to run World of Warcraft: Legion. Of course, when I say &#8220;run&#8221;, I mean playing the game on the lowest settings. If you&#8217;re OK with that, then there are more right choices than wrong ones. Even if you&#8217;re on a tight budget. <strong>You can get a laptop under decent laptop for WoW under $400 with the absolute the cheapest i3 notebooks starting at $300<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  If you want to play World of Warcraft on high(est) settings, you should look at the higher-end CPUs: i7-4720HQ, i5-7300HQ, i7-6700HQ, i5-8300H, i7-8750H. Currently, there aren\u2019t any Intel 7th-gen processors that can surpass the performance offered by earlier generations. That should change in the first half of 2017.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Here\u2019s a basic rule of thumb to know if a processor is recommended for WoW. Check that a CPU model matching the pattern of i7-<span style=\"color: red;\">A<\/span><span style=\"color: blue;\">B<\/span>xx where <span style=\"color: red;\">A is at least 4<\/span>, <span style=\"color: blue;\">B is at least 7<\/span> and the rest doesn\u2019t matter (i7-47xx or better). The only notable non-i7 processor that can handle WoW at higher settings are i5-6300HQ, i5-7300HQ, i5-8250U, i5-8300H.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"headline-label\">Major<\/span> Graphics card<\/h4>\n<h5>Integrated graphics<\/h5>\n<p>\n  <strong>If you want a cheap WoW laptop (under $700) \u2013 go for a 6th-8th generation Intel processor<\/strong> as they come with integrated graphics fast enough to run WoW. Older 4th-gen processors are only an option if there\u2019s a dedicated graphics card supporting them, but there are workarounds how you can run WoW: Legion with older iGPUs, however, there&#8217;s more work to do such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yDuDfNQTAIk\">optimization guides<\/a> and &#8220;hacks&#8221; that makes the game run faster by sacrificing enjoyability of graphics.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n    UHD 620, HD 520, HD 530, Iris 550\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    UHD 630, HD 5300, HD 5500, Iris Pro 5200\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  So what&#8217;s the takeaway?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <strong>If you want a cheap WoW laptop (under $700) &#8211; go for a 6th-8th generation Intel processor<\/strong> as they come with integrated graphics fast enough to run WoW. Older 4th-gen processors are only an option if there&#8217;s a dedicated graphics card supporting them.\n<\/p>\n<h5>Dedicated graphics<\/h5>\n<p>\n  <strong>For the best WoW laptops, you\u2019ll need a dedicated graphics card<\/strong>. Almost any Nvidia card is better than Intel\u2019s integrated chips and AMD\u2019s APU solutions. If you\u2019re OK with running WoW at below-1080p resolutions (HD+ \u2013 1600\u00d7900) \u2013 then you can get away with 950M (which is found starting at ~700$). But <strong>for Full-HD gaming, WoW will need 960M, 970M or 1050 ($800+) <\/strong> or, if you can afford it, go for 1060 or better ($1200+) to max out on all visual settings.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"headline-label\">Minor<\/span> Memory<\/h4>\n<p>\n  Under $500? You&#8217;ll be OK with 4 GB. Otherwise, you&#8217;re getting ripped off if you&#8217;re not getting 8 GB of RAM. Point blank.\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"headline-fill alt\">Extras<\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"headline-label alt\">Optional<\/span> Full-HD Display<\/h4>\n<p>\n  Usually, a Full-HD resolution display is a requirement by default. But I know some of you are searching for a basic budget laptop that can handle WoW. And there are some cheap laptops that seem to offer everything you&#8217;d need at a fraction of a cost. Often these laptops have either a terrible screen or garbage battery life (or both).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I&#8217;m not going to insist that you need a good battery runtime &#8211; it&#8217;s entirely an optional requirement for many gamers. But overlooking display quality is one simple way to limit your gaming experience. Ideally, I&#8217;d like that even an entry-level laptop would have a Full-HD IPS display with 300 cd\/m<sup>2<\/sup> brightness, 1000:1 contrast and 85% sRGB coverage. But this is obviously not going to happen if you&#8217;re squeezing value from every dollar.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  That&#8217;s why, if your budget is above $500, I can only suggest making sure you&#8217;re getting at least Full-HD display. All other display metrics are secondary when it comes to gaming.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"headline-label alt\">Optional<\/span> Large OR fast storage drive<\/h4>\n<p>\n  WoW does not demand a lot of storage size. But it needs enough so you&#8217;ll not be able to fit it properly on a 64 GB flash storage laptop.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  So, we have 2 basic options:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n    128GB+ SSDs (quick startup, very fast and responsive)\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    500GB+ HDDs (cheap, large, slow)\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  Which you prefer is entirely up to you &#8211; if you have a large collection of games and\/or movies &#8211; a cheap and spacious HDD should fit you best. But if you&#8217;ll be using it almost entirely for WoW, web browsing and streaming music and movies &#8211; a fast SSD storage would is the way to go. Best case scenario &#8211; 250GB or even 500GB SSD.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Of course, if you can&#8217;t spend above $550 &#8211; SSDs are not even an option. There are no laptops under $550 that have a 128 GB SSD AND have a good enough processor with a sufficient video card.\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline-fill\">Best laptops for World of Warcraft<\/h2>\n<p>\n  To find the best laptops, I\u2019ve checked various online threads on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomshardware.co.uk\/answers\/id-2974127\/choice-laptop-wow.html\">hardware sites<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/us.battle.net\/wow\/en\/forum\/topic\/19649324837\">Battle.net<\/a>. Sadly, most of them are dated and rarely providing much reason for their recommendations. I\u2019ve compared over 155 new and best-selling laptops to narrow down my results to just ~12 laptops. A few of them were very close in their price range, so for the sake of variety, I\u2019ve picked out 8 best World of Warcraft laptops.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Cheapest laptops to play World of Warcraft<\/h3>\n<div class=\"laptop-section\" id=\"laptop-1\" data-thumbnail-url=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Acer-Aspire-E-15-E5-575G-57D4-64x64.jpg\" data-number=\"1\" data-asin=\"\"><div class=\"row\"><h4 class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Ly0DxZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Acer Aspire E 15<\/a><\/h4><div class=\"laptop-number\">1<\/div><em class=\"subtitle\">Cheapest laptop for WoW<\/em><img src=\"http:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Acer-Aspire-E-15-E5-575G-57D4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"406\"\/><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"small-12 large-12 columns\"><a class=\"button button-link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Ly0DxZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View on Amazon<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"pickrow\"><div class=\"name\">Price<\/div><div class=\"value\">$400<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-specs\"><span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">i3-8130U<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">UHD 620<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">6GB RAM<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">1TB HDD<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">15.6&#8243; 1920&#215;1080<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n  Just as in the last iteration of this guide, Acer dominates budget laptops.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Compared to last year&#8217;s model, this laptop comes with an updated processor Intel i3-8130U which offers 40% better performance, 6 GB RAM instead of measly 4 GB and a slightly faster integrated graphics chip. I hope this won&#8217;t come as a shock, but there&#8217;s no way we can fit a dedicated GPU under $500. But if you need a new laptop that&#8217;s under that price tag, this Acer model will be your best bet.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  You can expect to play WoW on lowest graphics settings but that&#8217;s still pretty good for an entry-level notebook.\n<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-section\" id=\"laptop-2\" data-thumbnail-url=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Acer-Aspire-E-15-E5-575G-57D4-64x64.jpg\" data-number=\"2\" data-asin=\"\"><div class=\"row\"><h4 class=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2pf00Pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4<\/a><\/h4><div class=\"laptop-number\">2<\/div><em class=\"subtitle\">Cheapest laptop for WoW with SSD<\/em><img src=\"http:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Acer-Aspire-E-15-E5-575G-57D4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"406\"\/><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"small-12 large-12 columns\"><a class=\"button button-link\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2pf00Pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View on Amazon<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"pickrow\"><div class=\"name\">Price<\/div><div class=\"value\">$600<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-specs\"><span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">i5-8250U<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec good\">MX150<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec good\">8 GB<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">15.6&#8243; 1920&#215;1080<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec good\">7h<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">256 GB SSD<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n  At $600 mark, one laptop stands above the rest.

We\u2019re getting a new 8th generation i5 processor, a discrete Nvidia GeForce GTX MX150 graphics card (in between 950M and 960M), more memory and a solid state drive. The extra $200 can go a long way.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  With this laptop, we can target for a medium\/high settings mix while playing WoW.\n<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-section\" id=\"laptop-3\" data-thumbnail-url=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/MSI-GL62M-7RDX-1096-64x64.jpg\" data-number=\"3\" data-asin=\"\"><div class=\"row\"><h4 class=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2x1zESI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">MSI GL62M 7RDX-1408<\/a><\/h4><div class=\"laptop-number\">3<\/div><em class=\"subtitle\">Cheapest GTX 1050 laptop for WoW<\/em><img src=\"http:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/MSI-GL62M-7RDX-1096.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"376\"\/><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"small-12 large-12 columns\"><a class=\"button button-link\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2x1zESI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View on Amazon<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"pickrow\"><div class=\"name\">Price<\/div><div class=\"value\">$800<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-specs\"><span class=\"laptop-spec great\">i7-7700HQ<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec great\">GTX 1050 (2GB)<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec good\">8 GB<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">15.6&#8243; 1920&#215;1080<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">128 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n  For up to 800$ we\u2019ve got a great deal. MSI GL62M comes with a very fast i5-7700HQ CPU and a sufficient entry level GPU &#8211; GTX 1050 2 GB. That can be enough to play WoW on almost highest settings. Well, in fact, on this particular laptop you should be able to max out most of the settings as the display is 1080p. Also, it comes with an SSD and a larger HDD storage. Due to its unmatched performance at $800, it deserves a spot on the list.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Sadly, MSI laptops at this price come with a short battery life and washed out display panels so it&#8217;s not a great option if you want vivid colors and a bright display. For that you&#8217;ll need a true IPS panel which might come at a cost of an additional ~$150.\n<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Best laptops to play World of Warcraft on highest settings<\/h3>\n<div class=\"laptop-section\" id=\"laptop-4\" data-thumbnail-url=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eluktronics-N870HK1-Pro-64x64.jpg\" data-number=\"4\" data-asin=\"\"><div class=\"row\"><h4 class=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2x1DjzZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Eluktronics N870HK1 Pro<\/a><\/h4><div class=\"laptop-number\">4<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eluktronics-N870HK1-Pro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"425\"\/><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"small-12 large-12 columns\"><a class=\"button button-link\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2x1DjzZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View on Amazon<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"pickrow\"><div class=\"name\">Price<\/div><div class=\"value\">$1,100<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-specs\"><span class=\"laptop-spec great\">i7-7700HQ<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec great\">GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB)<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec great\">16GB RAM<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec good\">512GB SSD<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec good\">15.6&#8243; IPS 1920&#215;1080<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n  We&#8217;re quickly climbing the ladder and we&#8217;ve arrived at another pair of laptops, this time, at $1,100.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Eluktronics N870HK1 Pro comes with the same processor as MSI GL62M and a slightly faster graphics card.
