What price range are you looking for?
I seen the minimum graphics requirements and it looks like Intel HD Graphics 5000 is enough to run the game which are the integrated graphics that come with the newest gen CPUs. You probably want something a little better than that but that should be your starting point.

I want something with at least a decent GeForce card. Bout $1000 on the tag.

You're the 100th person to recommend that to me. It must be good.
I like the MSI lineup too.

I'm in one now and it's at about 40 fps when the big ones are spawned.

I'm at 50 - it's not bad, but it's not great either. I'd like, at minimum, 100.
I did the Hellfire Citadel 25 man with about 45-60.
Are you using the gear from invasions?
True. Felbat Pups for days tho.

Thats a nice one but just a warning, Lenovo kind of sucks with support if you go with them. I bought a laptop from them 3-4 years ago which im still using now but those bastards couldn't help me with any of the problems i was having with my drivers. Weirdly enough when I clean installed W10 most the issues were fixed. Anyways just beware about that. The laptop is working good now.
The MSI stuff is pretty nice too! This one is nicely priced

It has no SSD but you could probably install a second drive later on. I highly recommend it since it makes everything so responsive. It's been a while since I bought from MSI but they had good customer service back then.
Can you find me one comparable with a SSD? I'm kinda used to the speed of them.

This one is the one I posted but with an SSD drive.

Going by specs, the Lenovo Laptop is better since the video card memory is 4gb vs 2gb
Also the Lenovo has a bigger SSD drive 256gb vs 128gb.
The MSI laptop seems so be bigger as well.
You can also look at this ASUS laptop

It comes with a slighty slower CPU, and less RAM but nothing that you will feel during gaming. And it's also cheaper by a good margin. Though I have heard of bad stories from ASUS customer service.
There's another MSI laptop with slightly lower specs but again, but still on intels 6th gen core cpu at 2.3ghz. Spec wise I doubt you will see any noticeable difference between any of these laptops since they are all running pretty much the same components.

Theres also this dell

Not so sure if it comes with an SSD drive since there is a review with a guy saying it doesnt, though newegg reviews should always be taken with a grain of salt. This one has a 4k touch screen monitor to stand out from the rest. Though to be honest, 4k seems to be wasted on such a small screen.
Out of all those, both the MSI and Lenovo seem like good choices. I would go with the ones under $900 dollars just to save some cash.

Thanks fellas.
That MSI with the SSD and GTX 960m looks good to me.
Remember - this is a dedicated Warcraft laptop - will not be playing any other PC games.
Will this be good?

Or should I really get a 980?
