Hi everyone just bought a laptop need advice

Hi everyone! Looking for a bit of advice really!

Here is the build spec.

Mainly I play wow with everything on full settings. But play other games also, mainly blizzard.

I'm assuming I've chosen well but could be wrong.

As well as gaming, We also store many pictures, study on the laptop, surf many websites, and download and stream movies. Sometimes all at the same time.

Any advice welcome. Thanks

You have chosen pretty well. The GPU isnt the strongest but for blizzard games it will be absolutely fine.

Someone did mention the gpu isn't the best really, and also the m.2 could be better or something. Just looking for opinions.

If you say it's good for my needs I mentioned, and blizzard games in ultra setting for legion I'm more than happy.

Should be fine except for some pvp areas and raids. Even the best machines slow down a bit if you leave it on ultra in those scenarios.

Yea I do a lot of 25man raiding, not so much a pvp person more pve.

Maybe I'll just run it on high setting instead. I know legion expansion requires higher cards for the new graphical content.

Just hope everything I've put together lists for a good while to come.

Welcome. As in all raids: don't get beasted and you'll do ok.

Thanks mate. Haha I'll try not to get Beasted in the raids.

What do you think on the system?

Cheers

For an NVIDIA laptop, I'd see if I could up it to a 970m. Purely because you will be a). stuck with it for a while and b). external GPU solutions are pricey, rare and may not be compatible with that particular model in future. For a family/house media machine it's not bad though.
