Hey I need to know if this will be able to run Guild Wars 2 on at least medium settings:

I'm looking for a new laptop and would like to play this game.
If this isn't going to work, can you suggest one at about that same price (or cheaper) that will?
Thanks!

I don't have time to look around for laptop models, but to answer your question: nope. Look for something with at least a GT630m with a 1366x768 resolution if you want medium. That laptop looks seriously overpriced to me: last gen CPU, weak GPU, standard 1366x768 resolution for 800$. The fact that it has a blu-ray drive doesn't justify that price imo.

EDIT: Saw this on TD: http://www.tigerdire...46447&csid=_61. For 20$ more, you get something that actually packs some decent hardware.

Even this:

would be better. It swaps the Blu-Ray for a better video chip and a larger display.

I found this and was thinking of going with it.

That Y580 is pretty bang for the buck as far as gaming is concerned and has decent build quality. It's not at the level of a thinkpad, but you won't get a GTX660M in a Thinkpad.

Alright, thanks for the help.
