Need help on a laptop

[DesMephisto]

Hey, my wife is looking for an office/school/netflix(maybe wow?) laptop and I'm not entirely sure on the specifics of what she should be looking for.

To me I think the gold standard for processor speed should be 3.0GHZ, 8 gigs of ram (Windows 10, and it'll continue to keep taking as much ram as it can because of the higher availability of ram) and at minimum 128gig SSD.

However I'm pretty ignorant with laptops and what exactly makes a good laptop (her last one blew up in flames)

Any suggestions/ideas? Looking at <$700. Although slightly higher (before taxes) is fine too.

Has a gtx 950m if she ever decides to put WoW on it, as well as an i5 and 256gig ssd.

So for wow, school (Graduate school), etc <2.5 GHZ is fine for a processor?

Ya absolutely, its very standard on laptops to save battery life. This is a steal of a deal tbh, other cheapest lappy i could find with a gtx 950m is over 700 bucks.

Theres one with a 960M at 600 that my wife custom built via HP, should she take it? Was slightly better and more customized to her pref, I told her no originally because I was worried about processor speed.
