Solved! World of Warcraft

[wowlaptop]

After going around in circles I came to this:

Out of the four below, which is a better one?

https/www.computeruniverse.net/en/hp-omen-17-an102ng-4bz85ea-439-cm-173-notebook-schwarz - 8300H, 1060 6GB, about 1325 Euros

https/www.computeruniverse.net/en/asus-rog-gl702zc-gc105t-439-cm-173-notebook-schwarz - 5 1600, RX 580 4GB, about 1200 Euros

https/www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07G44YVXQ - 8300H, 1060 6GB, about 1150 Euros

https/www.scan.co.uk/products/173-asus-rog-strix-gl702zc-gc104t-fhd-freesync-amd-ryzen-7-1700-16gb-ddr4-256gb-m2-ssdplus1tb-hdd-4g - 7 1700, RX 580 4GB, about 1300 Euros

Also open to alternatives. Have to ship to Cyprus

My initial budget was 1000 Euros but I had to push it

Ideally I wanted a 8750H with 1060 but it seems to be more expensive. I also gave up waiting for the prices to drop as they appear to be holding well and it seems that a small saving is not worth a long wait

The one from Amazon seems cheap and decent. Thoughts? Is 8300H + 1060 6GB a good combo for WoW? Is GL series good?

Hp Omen would be mypick

Asus looks to have the same specs, and is $200 cheaper. I don't think there are any quality differences. In general Asus is actually a more reliable brand than HP.

If it was my money, and looks did not matter, I would go with the Asus. I am not familiar with the keyboards or exact screens on them though. You may want to do some reading of reviews about those. A better screen and better keyboard would be worth the price difference.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from wowlaptop : "ROG Strix GL702ZC (for World of Warcraft)?"

I am in Cyprus and according to the recommendation of Logical Increments (could not find another website which goes into details; http/www.logicalincrements.com/games/wow) I am currently considering the machine below:

http/www.scan.co.uk/products/173-asus-rog-strix-gl702zc-gc104t-fhd-freesync-amd-ryzen-7-1700-16gb-ddr4-256gb-m2-ssdplus1tb-hdd-4g

"ASUS Strix GL702ZC 17" 8 Core AMD RYZEN 7 Gaming Laptop"

It is £1,049.99 and about £100.00 for the delivery, a total of about £1,149.99 - about 1,296.04 Euros; I am unable to find anything similar for the similar price (only from Amazon.com but then I am concerned about the USA warranty - thoughts here?).

I have been told that at least 8750H or an equivalent is a must for comfortable WoW gaming (since is CPU-intensive), and the same for 1060 - these specifications seem to be similar.

Thoughts or alternatives? Other website which delivers to Cyprus (and the delivery is only about 25 GBP) is http/www.overclockers.co.uk but I cannot find anything appropriate (only much more expensive). Amazon UK seems to not be able to deliver much laptops here.

Any help appreciated.

That laptop is a killer! You can play anything with that!

Personally, my laptop is a Pavilion G15, with 8750H and Gtx 1060.

You will absolutely be fine with that laptop! Good price too!

Good luck!

p.s. If you have doubts, watch some benchmarks. But you will be getting very high FPS. Always above 60.

For WoW, Intel/Nvidia is probably best. I would say the Asus one.
