New laptop for WOW

derrickleung · Oct 30, 2014

Hi all
I will buy a new laptop this weekend for school/work, and I won't consider about desktop. However, I am not a laptop expert. I will like to know which setting can I run in this 4 options? The third one is the best of these option and it is the most expensive one. Is it possible to run Ultra in these options? If not, how far can they go? Thank you guys

First
Intel⪚ Core™ i5-4200U (1.60GHz / 2.60GHz)
8GB RAM
Intel⪚ HD Graphics 4400
1920x1080

Second
Intel⪚ Core™ i5-4200U (1.60GHz / 2.60GHz)
8GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 735M (2GB)
1920x1080

Third
Intel® Core™ i7-4500U (1.80GHz / 3.00GHz)

Forth

The third - the best CPU , the best GPU ,12GB RAM

GT 735M 1366x768 med quality
Battlefield 4 - 33FPS
Batman: Arkham Origins 2013 - 44FPS
Metro Last Light - 20FPS
Dirt 3 - 48FPS

12GB of memory is a bit of a waste. What is your budget? And screen size now that I am thinking of it.

They are all in my budget, but I dont want to waste money if I don't have to
The Third one the $200 more than the second one.
The screen size is 15.5"

Sorry but I don't play Battlefield4. Does it need better configuration than WoW?

Eximo · Oct 30, 2014

Right, but to look for a possibly better product, have to know what you are willing to pay for it total.

If those are your only available choices, go with the third option.

Eximo :

So what quality do you think I can get to in the game?

Eximo · Oct 30, 2014

Not seeing too much information on that GPU. It isn't exactly considered a gaming class card.

I would estimate somewhere around 30FPS in raids at 1080p. I would turn off high definition shadows and perhaps some lighting effects.

Eximo :

The last question, are there a big different between option 2 and 3?
How about the option 1, can it run like good or high setting?

Which of them can run the 25 Instance dungeon?

Eximo · Oct 30, 2014

Option 1 would struggle at high settings in a 25 man, and you wouldn't be able to run it at 1920x1080. HD4400 is good for media consumption not so much for games.

Low-medium settings at 1366x768 to maintain over 30fps

The fourth option would almost be better since it has the lowest resolution screen, but it is probably not of very good quality. Hard to say without exact models.

Eximo :

so you mean option 2 can run 25 man in high setting?
and option 1 can run 25 man well in low setting?

rockie_ · Oct 30, 2014

Dont buy the first at all . With only iGPU , you condnt do much . if the third is too expensive , the second is a good deal . i5 4200U is faster than i5 3317U and GT 735M faster than GT 620M .
