Wife's old laptop almost meets WoW system specs

[Raeph]

Just checked my wife's laptop (she refuses to play on a desktop) and the system specs meet the minimum requirement aside from the graphics.

Her laptop is a Dell 7000 series and it uses Intel HD Graphics 4600 series. I know it is cringe worthy but it has served her through all of WoD through heroic raiding.

Anyway point being I don't have the budget to get her a new laptop at the moment, so I want to know if she could run Legion even though graphics don't meet the minimum. I do know that WoW has a history of being very forgiving for low spec systems but she did have some video driver errors on a previous laptop, I think during Mists.

Anyone have a guess if she'll be alright for a while longer?

Chances are, if it ran it before, it'll run it now. While WoD required Intel HD3000, and Legion requires Intel HD5000, the 4600 honestly should still work.

But, honestly, there's two ways to go about this.

1) If you have beta access, try it out on the PTR
2) Wait until Pre-patch hits in about 2 weeks and you'll have your answer regardless.

He could also just test it on the PTR itself no? Don't need access for that or is that what you ment.
