I don't have anything specific but make sure it has a discreet graphics card, then invest the rest of your budget into the cpu. And yes, as you posted, a laptop cooling pad is a very good idea as well.
Laptops with these specs and especially ones marketed as "gaming laptops" tend to be very big and heavy, making them unwieldy as multi-purpose machines for school/work etc. Depending on your situation, I'd recommend splitting your budget between a small, portable laptop and a mid-range gaming rig. Speaking from personal experience, I started this game on a regular laptop and it was "okay" with low fps, bad graphics, and heating problems. When I finally did invest in a budget desktop for gaming, it made a world of difference with the added that I've been able to upgrade my hardware over the years, something nearly impossible to do for a laptop short buying a whole new one.

I searched some past comments referring to playing ESO on laptops (all the way back to 2016) and they said it was doable but the graphic settings had to be tweaked down a bit. Heat was also a problem and so forth, and others saying they were running eso on their laptops fine but at a lower fps. I'm good with 30 fps if that's what I get. I figured by now with the upgraded WiFi6axe and todays better performing laptops it would be possible.
I'm not a pvp'r and don't do trials that often so I figured - with less stress on the cpu - I could give it a go and see what happens.
Thnx for the reply.

ESO is really cpu heavy, I wouldn't recommend a laptop.

Gaming laptops have come a long way in recent years and aren't necessarily all big chunky machines anymore. Have a look at Asus ROG Zephyrus, Razer Blade or MSI Stealth series of gaming laptops. All of those should be more than powerful enough to run ESO.

I've been enjoying ESO on a desktop (high end) for years and am now going mobile (RV) and would enjoy playing ESO (and other games) while traveling (am now retired). This is the reason why I was enquiring about laptop/wifi combos. Thnx again...
