Gaming laptop for Shadowlands

Hello, maybe someone can recommend any decent laptop for Shadowlands?
Price range would be something betweeen 800 - 1.3k
I’m interested in normal/heroic raiding and doing 10/15+ keys without getting huge lagfest…

Currently have Acer Nitro AN515-52
Intel® Core™ i5-8300H CPU @ 2.30GHz (4 cores)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB)
16GB RAM
Also my game is saved on HDD because SSD is only 120GB and i don’t have space for WoW there.
I play using phone internet (mobile hotspot)
Looking for something a bit more powerful wich could squeeze more than 30-60fps…

So far i am thinking of getting TUF Gaming A15, Asus is it any good?
1920x1080 Full HD screen (15.6 inch) @ 144 Hz
AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (2.9 to 4.2GHz) - I never had any computer with Ryzen before so this part makes me concerned a little if it will do or not.
16 GB RAM (3200 MHz)
512GB SSD
NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 1660Ti (6 GB)

Maybe someone can recommend something else aswell?

Zen 2 gen ASUS TUF is BAAAD, really BAAD. Like they sealed vents to “cool other components” but at the same time bake CPU and GPU. Plus trash screens.

Zen 3 TUFs are at least partially fixed (better cooling, but screens can still be one from good or bad).

Ryzen is pretty much dominant CPU right now on the market :wink:

On cheaper side Lenovo Legion 5 with either Ryzen 4800H or Intel i7-10750H with 1660 Ti or RTX 2060. 144Hz screen is of better quality than the 120Hz one.

Bit more expensive - ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte laptops with RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5800H - that’s more powerful in terms of GPU and CPU. Those are priced around 1300 EUR.

There is also Asus TUF Dash F15 with RTX 3060 and Intel 11370H which is bit cheaper than those with 5800H Ryzen but also weaker on the CPU side. (this is a lightweight/quieter laptop, not that optimal than bit bigger 5800H +RTX 3060 gaming laptops).

Very first one i wanted to buy even before i got my current Acer was Lenovo but after finding and hearing some not very good reviews about it i went with Acer. Never really liked it as a laptop too, but can’t say about specs how good/bad they are.

Current Legions have very good reviews. It changes pretty much generation to generation.

Was looking into MSI aswell but matching my price range only one i could find was GF65 Thin 9SD, MSI with i7 9750H , 1000GB SSD and 6GB GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti card. A lot of good laptops have 4GB Nvidia cards and i am not sure if that is enough since i have a 4GB one now and i’m lagging quite a lot.

WoW uses ~2-2,5GB of VRAM. If you would be under the hard limit the game would have big problems working.

You can look at some bigger sites or online comparison sites:
