Hopefully by 2026 they have optimized a little better and computer performance / cost is more favorable.
I’m currently running a ryzen 5 5600 cpu with a xfx 6700xt video card and it seemed to run flawlessly. My machine isn’t any where close to top of the line - for gaming desktops I’d say it’s middle of the road.
But I’ll tell you, the older I get, the harder it is for me to get on my desktop to play (maybe it’s because I’m sitting at a desk for work 8 hours a day already). I’d prefer a laptop where I can play for an hour at night before I go to bed. Like I said above, hopefully laptops in 2026 are much cheaper and more powerful.
As a side note, One thing I’m impressed with after all these years is how well WOW was optimized in its early days.

There's a ton about WoW technically that is impressive as hell. If you want to know how something is able to be done efficiently/well in terms of tech in a MMO, it's hard to go wrong with looking at how WoW addressed the problem, even today.
Gaming laptops are pretty great honestly - I just found I need a lap pad to use them when not on a solid surface usually. They tend to stay warm even with the dgpu shut off. AMD came out with a pretty nice apu this year that is actually pretty solid at 1080p gaming. It's been super popular - it's in all of those windows handhelds that have launched pretty much. The next few years should see more releases and competition from intel with their arc-based APUs. So...that should be pretty nice IMO. Alternatively, ARM might be viable in the near future - already is IMO if you're on Mac, we'll see about Qualcomm.
