Sufficient cpu/gpu torque
More than enough RAM
SSD - check
This is a fine machine for path, fam. I've ran with a roughly equivalent if not slightly slower cpu in breach beyond burning ground pack size maps and managed to stay 40-50 fps at the worst, and that scenario is as taxing on my fps as my endgame got.
Cooling likely won't be a problem, PoE will not tax all those cores and typically won't max out your GPU either, at least in the thick of the action, sure in the hideout and etc it will. Good rule of thumb is, the more action is on the screen the less your gpu gets utilized.
As for battery, yeah it's gonna be shitty if you expect high fidelity high fps without being plugged into the wall. Just run min settings, cap cpu max state, maybe in 720p and/or run dynamic resolution when on battery for longevity. If you wanted to go the extra mile, you could even run off the cpu's integrated graphics. iirc, and i usually do, the 7700hq igpu is decent enough for PoE.
