The “U” on your CPU stands for Ultra Low, basicly.

It’s built to save as much power as it possibly can to prolong battery life.

Since GW2 uses the CPU more than the GPU in almost everything, having a bad CPU pretty much means you won’t have a fun time.

May I ask why you need a laptop? You can build a desktop yourself for around $1700 and it’ll run GW2 flawlessly.

My System that I built myself:

i5 3570k overclocked to 3.8GHz
AMD 7970
8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600MHz
