Guild Wars 2

So my last laptop called it quits, looking at another one atm don’t have much money atm, just needing some answers for what to expect. Last lappy was i3 2.4ghz, 4gb ram and ati/amd hd mobility radeon 5650 1gb, best I saw was 30 fps at all minimum and 1300×900 res(I think). New lappy looking at is i5 2.26ghz(turbo boost available), 4gb ram, and nvidia GeForce gt 339m 1gb, will it be worse? Better? Or close to the same? (Both old and new are duo core)

On minimum it’ll be playable at a decent framerate (minimum 30fps at all times), but you’ll simply not want to have it on medium. It’s a laptop, these things are simply not meant for anything but very casual gaming.

Please tell me why you prefer a laptop over a decent PC. Unless you travel on a regular basis (business trips, school, frequent flyer,…), there’s no good reason to have a laptop for gaming.

You can use the following two links to compare performance. Unfortunately you didn’t give enough info about the two CPUs.

CPU – http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html

GPU – http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

It appears that the 5650 is the faster of the two GPUs

It’s not so much that I prefer, but currently it’s a lot easier for me, allows me to bring my comp to work and friends. Also lack a monitor, and keyboard(can go without speakers got a decent headset) and I have no idea how to build a pc. And I used that site looking at the gpu, and 330m was actually expected to get better fps than 5650 despite the 5650 being a better card overall. My old lappy was lucky to hit constant 30 and everything was minimum or off, usually closer to 15. Also currently if I had a pc I would have no foot space left where I’m at :P
