I’ve been using a laptop to play World of Warcraft from the glorious days of Vanilla (that’s the oldest achievement you can get by the way /flex )Īll the way to the current expansions Shadowlands/Classic:Burning Crusade and plan on keep doing so in the future. It’s just old school though, laptops are INSANELY powerful these days especially with the release of Ryzen processors, the 10th generation GPUs and current RTX NVIDIA chips.Īnd they weren’t too bad in the past either. Nor do you have to get a desktop.Īren’t you annoyed by these guys and their “desktop or death” “PC master race” comments going around and not just within the game (see the screenshot) but also on forums, reddit, etc. You don’t have to pay 3000$ to have fun with the game with all settings maxed out and +60 fps (probably 750$ on average). Those “any laptop can run WoW” comments are not all that innacurate. However, you are going to have to do a lil’ research before pulling the trigger on some overpriced machines from sneaky goblin vendors. Yes this is possible e ven if you are on a budget. That may be true if you want low detail torture graphics b ut not if you want to have the best gaming experience with WoW which is having a decent fps(~60ish), high/ultra graphic settings and very far rendering distances (so far you can see the barrens from orgrimmar or goldshire from stormwind). I’m sure you’ve read somewhere that virtually ANY laptop can “run” WoW.
