Hey Guys,
I've been playing the guild wars for years and with the release of GW2 I am completely addicted. I already have a gaming PC which is very capable of running the game, but I am looking for a cheap laptop that can run the game while I'm away from home. I'm perfectly fine with running the game at bare minimums as long as I can get a decent framerate (30 FPS average is preferable).
My budget is ~$500. Right now the laptops in this range seem to have an i5 with Intel HD 4000 graphics, or AMD Fusion A8-4500m. I follow desktop benchmarks and reviews quite closely, but I'm not as knowledgeable about notebook hardware, and there don't seem to be a lot of gaming benchmarks for these systems yet. What are your thoughts? Can I play GW2 on a notebook with this low of a budget, or is it a pipe-dream?
