Hello all.

Still working on putting a laptop (yes – please don’t laugh – a laptop) together to play GW2 at mid to high settings. Current specs so far before committing to production:

15.6" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920×1080)
Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Extreme i7-3940XM (3.00GHz) 8MB
Memory (RAM) 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 (2 × 8GB)
Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M – 4.0GB DDR5 Video RAM – DirectX® 11
Memory – 1st Hard Disk 500GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD5000BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
SSD CACHE DRIVE 20GB INTEL® 313 mSATA SSD – SLC CACHE DRIVE- SPEED UP HDD

Ideally I’d like a setup that could last me perhaps 2 (hopefully 3) years or more (?) before having to upgrade (again!) when future game requirements render this setup inefficient.

Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

just keep hitting it till it dies.
