I’m currently looking for a new laptop, something in the 500-600€ range. Mostly for work but I’d also like to bring it to holidays for some light WoW action (no raid or mythic+, but mostly doing WQ and small grind).
Anyway, the Huawei Matebook D 14 looks ok, but is it good enough for WoW? And if not, do you have another suggestion in this 500-600€ price range?
Its specs: Integrated Radeon Vega8 Graphics, AMD Ryzen™ 5 2500U mobile processor, 8 GB DDR4, SSD.
Vega 8 is quite capable integrated graphics and should work just fine. Desktop variant can handle WoW on lower settings rather “easily”.
With such price range it will be hard to find a good and slick laptop with dedicated graphics - but you may check if there is a sale for something with GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti or 1650.
I am currently in the same position as you, I am looking to buy a laptop for when I travel and to bring to work, for a light load of playing, non-raiding etc. I am currently looking to buy a Lenovo V155 (3500U CPU and about the same specs as the one you linked).
I am ordering the laptop today, will report back to you if you’d like with what performance I am getting. (Should be 4-5 days until I get it and am able to test it out).
Go to the catogry “gaming laptops” and then select “offers”.
There’s a few at the upper end of your price range. And this is a great company that Iv used several times.
Im currently using an ASUS TuF with an i7 and 1060 graphics card. I love the TuF keyboards… all the non-gaming laptops Iv had in the past needed frequent keyboard replacements with WoW due to constant pressing on a few keys, like the up arrow for forward movement. These dont
Ok so I finally bought this Huawei Matebook D 14 (for 550€) and it runs WoW smoothly even on wifi. I got ~50fps easily while graphics pref are set to 8. Note that I only do questing, dailies and one heroic warfront on it. I didn’t raid. But for playing WoW on the side, this laptop is cheap and does the job perfectly.
