Hey there,
I really love my 12" MB since I travel a lot and absolutely dig the form factor it offers, but I recently started to play WoW again, so I'm a bit puzzled now. The rMB is able to run WoW on lowest settings with a stable 25-30 FPS in raid environments, but well, it's not really enjoyable tbh.
So I'm thinking about replacing my beloved rMB. The thing is, I don't know if I should aim for a non-touchbar 13" MBP or rather buy a Windows laptop instead. I'm not too thrilled by the thought of having Windows again, but well, it's a matter of price and comfort too.
So, how does the 13" MBP (without touch bar) fare when it comes to light gaming like WoW? The Intel Iris should pack some pretty decent punch I guess? Also: TB3 supports eGPUS, am I right? That would be two major deciding factors, but that price tag is pretty hard to swallow.
Alternative would be a Razor Blade Stealth (12,5", i7, Intel HD) for about 1.000€.
What do you think? What would suit my needs better? I don't play any heavy games, just WoW and a bit of Minecraft? Should I keep the 12" and live with the performance or would it be a step up if I'd buy a MBP? What about an older model? How do they stack up?
Thank you a lot!!
