technology Need help with getting a new gaming laptop

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,588]

So, I am in the need of a new gaming laptop as my current one is dying and needs to be upgraded, I have one in mind, but am not sure about the graphics card, if someone could help me decide if it'll be good enough to play Legion, that'd be great!

If you have the money, get a desktop. It will last longer, and just be plain better. Not to mention you'll be able to mod it.

I don't exactly know what "Legion" is, but the gaming laptop I'll be getting is the HP Omen 15. From what I've read, it's a pretty solid gaming notebook and going for a decent price of 800$ on Newegg.

Check out the minimum and recommended specs for your game here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

 

Also, like @above said, if you can, build a pc. Not only will it be cheaper, it'll be easily upgraded (therefore future-proof) and moddable (like stated above) If portability is a must, then stick with the laptop.

I myself use a laptop for gaming, due to not really having space for a desktop- it does work out more expensive in the long run, but sometimes its the best option.

 

I got mine from a website that basically allows you to build your own computer, desktop or laptop, but without actually having to assemble it- you pick the parts, they build it.

Now, the one I used is UK based, which isn't going to be too useful to you, but you may be able to find one based in Australia- I found it better value than getting a prebuilt machine

 

I don't exactly know what "Legion" is, 

It's the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, releasing at the end of the month.
