Would the 4.0 benchmark be dropping this week?

For notebook users it's waaaaaaaaaay more complex than that, since we can't upgrade single parts of the system.

I would never use a notebook for gaming anyways and this is one of the reasons.

Take all my likes/agrees/etc

Yes, but people do and a lot of players mainly play in notebooks and SE, as a company wanting to make money from a new expansion, should release a benchmark. No laptop players are complaining about the changes, we just want a benchmark to be sure about how the game runs and take action if it doesn't run well.

Value-wise, they tend to be worse than desktop equivalents, but there are many configurations available that can handle this game (and many others) just fine. Especially with more power efficient architectures released these past couple years (e.g. Nvidia's Pascal) laptops today are much more attractive options than their ~2011-2015 counterparts.

The GTX1080 for laptops, for example, has 2560 cores just like the desktop version.
The GTX980M just one generation prior, had to compromise with only 1536 cores, compared to the desktop version's 2048.

Looking at the lower end, the GTX1050 Ti for laptops is actually faster than the desktop version.

Upgradability remains a weak point, but they aren't as gimped on performance as they used to be.
