Not to screw you but you will be able to play the game… with low settings and not optimal performance.
The only thing i can tell you is that i have a similar but a bit more power notebook and i can play with medium-low setting and get 30-60 fps in pve-dungeon-pvp while about 15-25 in wvw or during world bosses

here are my specs:
ram: 6 gb ddr3 1600mhz
cpu: i7 3630QM (2.4-2.3ghz)
gpu: nvidia 740m (2gb ddr3)
win 8.1 64bit

hope to be of help

I’m running a 10 year old computer with much worse specs. Graphics don’t look the best but I can play everything just fine. If I’m just roaming PvE I can turn the graphics up and don’t notice much of a hit.

please notice that our are notebooks not desktop there is a big difference. Even a good notebook gpu card can be compared to a 10 years old desktop gpu…
Also i already did everything to increase notebook performance and the best i’ve got is:

texture: medium
shader: medium
character limit & quality: medium
everything else: low or none
+ sweetFX

and what i got is a good graphic (thanks to sweetfx) with those fps (30-60 few players around, 15-25 tons of players around)

@OP
If you have already this pc i suggest you to give a try with there specs:

texture: medium
character model & quality: medium (or low)
+ sweetFX active

few tips:
-turn screen refresh rate to 60hrz
-disable FXAA in game (sweet fx should be fine)
-optimize your pc to increase performance for your gpu and cpu (and also make sure to set you motherboard on “performance” instead of “power saving”)
-be sure to buy a good cooling system. I’m having some problems especialliy these days keeping my pc cold. If you cant buy one i suggest you to go in the bios and disable Turbo Boost option… that may look crazy but the difference in game in near 0 (maybe you lose 1-2 fps) but on the other hand you pc will overheat less and this will save your pc and your fps.

Also make sure to visit GW2 support page for fps problems in case you have them:
