This one that you previously posted and asked about will be OK but it will definitely struggle along with World of Warcraft. So it maybe not the best experience playing WoW.

And to get the WoW playable or to be nice, you may have to change the laptop screen resolution from 1080p down to 720p. 

And set the game's setting down to Low, maybe Medium but not usable at the High setting. Not a hardship anyways or by any means.

But this isn't the kind of laptop graphic card i would be recommending for playing WoW.

Can you find any other choices suitable laptops that you can afford?

Any other laptops you have found or would like to post?

 

This one you asked about will be OK, but not for World of Warcraft.

These are the list of approved video cards as given by World of Warcraft:

Along with the other Recommended hardware the laptop should be as this for playing World of Warcraft ( from https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/76459 )

Windows 7 (but Windows 10 would be better)

8GB of RAM (but 16 GB would be better)

A 128 GB SSD (but 256 GB would be better and 512 GB would be the best and of course having a 1 TB SSD is usually only in higher tier laptops)

A 4 core CPU (but a 6 core CPU would be better) and anything from the last past 7 years or younger is OK

A video card able to handle the DirectX 12 and it has a minimum of 3 GB VRAM (but 4 GB or 6 GB or 8 GB of VRAM in the graphic card would be better)

Keyboard and Mouse (keyboard comes with the laptop and the Touch Pad is now your mouse)

A 720p screen but it is quite possible the laptop screen will have a larger resolution, so a 14 inch or larger laptop will be sufficient for the screen resolution
