Hey there!

I’ll be moving out soon and I need to buy a laptop for uni so it has to be able to do a couple things:

- Run GW2 (preferably on decent settings)
- have 2+ USB ports (mouse and keyboard)
- The price has to be around 600-1000 Euro

Does anyone have any suggestions? Either what to look for in the laptop or a laptop in particular and why that one.
All help is greatly appreciated!

youll want an intel haswell based i5 (i7 QM would be preferred) and a Nvidia 850, 860, or 870 GPU.

the rest will fill in when you are at that level.

Hp has a 15z with a 840 (they SHOULD be making it with the 850 and 860 very soon) for 649. IBM and Asus have them too (but are 800-900)
