I played vanilla and quit towards the end of BC..

I’m getting ready to graduate, but ill be doing a shit load of online classes towards my masters so I need a computer upgrade and figured why not?

Any advice on factions? And also, what do you think is the bottom line recommendations for computers?

Ozzy build your own computer. Don't go prebuilt.

Depends though what resolution you intend to play at. If your looking at bottom line I assume you are only using a 1920 x 1080p monitor.

If you ever decide to build your own the CHD forum isn't to bad. They argue a lot but usualy come up with good deals.

I mean there are, just a bit more pricy obviously. That forum might be able to dig a deal.

Honestly 1050/ 1060 laptops aren't much more than desktops builds currently. Prebuilts can rarely be an okay deal if you find a sale. Any 1050 GPU will be good enough for wow. Like above guy said probably hit hardware forums for help finding specific deals

this is what i use when I am going mobile. Works great for WoW. and a low price. I can run max graphics settings with it and runs fine.

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series Gaming Edition 7567 15.6-Inch Full HD Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 1 TB Hybrid HDD, 8GB DDR4 Memory, NVIDIA GTX 1050 4GB Graphics, Windows 10

you can pick it up for under $700. probably find now for a lot less.

You’re going to notice how everything got easier and more convenient.

Also a double edged sword in the experience.

Coming back in a few months.. Just bought my new laptop for gaming, Acer Nitro 5 with 256gb SSD, 1050 TI 4gb GDDR5, i5 8300H processor, 8gb ddr4. Wasn't badly priced either, and since the games I plan on playing aren't super demanding I'm sure it wont be too bad to run them.
