Guild Wars 2

Hi, the next week I will buy a new laptop I have 2 options one with amd A10 procesor and a amd radeon 8670m, the other is a core I7 with Nvidia GT 740m.

The 2 laptops have the same hard drive, memory and are very similar but the price is very different. I can’t expend to much and this 2 laptop are cheap and looks good.

I want to know the community opinion.

I only want play GW2 with a decent framerate, actually I am using a core i3 with a hd3000 integrated video card, that only give me 7-10 fps.

Also I read that core I7 with the letter U are slow ¿is that true?

Thanks

PD: sorry for my bad english.

From a GPU basis, the GT 740m is faster than the HD 8670m.

Yes the i7 with a “u” at the end is slower than one ending in X or Q because it’s a low power part, which is good for battery life. It’s also a dual core with hyperthreading than a true quad core. That said if your i7 is a i7-4xxxu model, it’s still a faster CPU than any AMD A10-xxxxm.

Without more info about the CPU models for specific comparisons, with what you’ve said so far, I would lean to the i7 “u” dual core and the GT 740m laptop.
