I think it should run fine. Here's a link about a few benchmarks for your graphics card including WOW: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Iris-Graphics-540.149939.0.html

Yes. I know from first hand experience that you can play WoW (modern and Classic) on a Surface. Those specs will allow you to comfortably play the game at medium-ish settings. You may struggle in capital cities though. And I certainly wouldn't try raiding! :lol:

I usually game on my desktop, but I have a 2015 Dell xps13 with an i7 and integrated graphics for my laptop. I can't speak for raiding on it, but it played the beta without issue, and I can do just fine running retail as well. You should be fine on a surface pro.

I game on my G4560 Integrated, since my 1050Ti burned.
Now saving money to buy a 1050 2gb :c (I'd go for a 1650 or even more, but I don't play games except vanilla and some PS2 titles remastered, Final Fantasy XII, .hack G.U.)

I would still spring for the GTX 1650 or at least the 4Gb version of any graphics card. In this day and age, 2Gb just doesn't cut it anymore and I promise you that you will regret the decision sooner rather than later. If you can tell me what area you are based in, I could help you find some GPUs on the cheap? The used market is also a great place to look.

No need for raids for me when im away, its more for lvling and a good time and I have my reguler comp when im at home, was just soo supprised when i saw the minimum requirements and started to think about it!

It's too late for me, leave me behind soldier. I'm from Argentina, 60% inflation and taxes on electronic components, 70% of my entire salary for a 1050Ti 4GB.

I too have a Surface Pro that I'm planning to use. Just for checking AH, moving from one area to another, maybe some casual farming here and there in the early mornings before work when the wife is still sleeping.

Having a tablet set up to run a character parked next to the auction hall sounds like a pretty good idea. More opportunities to be even less productive throughout the day :lol:

I have a surface pro and I only played hearthstone on it so not sure if it can handle wow.
From posts before it seems like it can work but at lower settings.
But when playing hearthstone though, the surface pro would heat up alot and the fans would go nuts!

I have a surface pro 6 i5 and have just been playing the beta on it perfectly playable for levelling and open-world not sure on dungeons etc don't see why not wouldn't have a clue about raids and 40 bgs though.

TLDR beta runs fine on 4/10 graphics preset
