Looking to buy my son a laptop to play wow on. Is there a decent laptop in the 700$ range that can play with no problems?

Classic or retail?

Retail. Was looking at a Acer nitro 5

That will run WoW, but you're going to need to make some custom profiles for Raids, M+, and BGs.

Are you in the US? If so, what state? Are you willing to order online? Or store only. Also, most importantly, are you firm at the $700 price tag? If you were able to up that to even $899, you're looking at a pretty big jump when it comes to gaming capability. For example, were you to go from a 1650 to a 1660 ti, you're looking at a 30% increase in fps. That's the difference between raiding on lowest everything, and high everything. A 1660ti would still be close to your budget and give you close to the same performance.

This is a good list to give yourself some idea of where your laptop graphics card stands in relation to all others:
