Well recently I’ve decided that I wanted a new laptop and I’ve been wondering which ones would be good for this. I usually run on best performance with my fox ranging from 11-13 ( yes that’s how bad it was ) and I was wondering if there was anything better than that for a good price. Graphics don’t really matter much to me as long as its able to run smoothly.

You’re not really giving much to go on here.

Like what’s your budget?

‘Cheap + Good for GW2’ do not go together.

‘laptop + ood for GW2’ also do not go together… UNLESS u have many many “moneys” to throw at it. :P

You can easily play gw2 on a laptop. Especially if you aren’t too concerned with the graphics of it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 17r from 2010 with a dedicated graphics card in it that can play gw2 on medium at least. So if you’re gonna get a new laptop try one with a dedicated card in it.

Acer Aspire V3-551G-X419 (goes for around $500; got mine for $420 refurbished).

Has an AMD APU (A10-4600M), iGPU (7660G) and dGPU (7670M) and both GPUs can be used in Crossfire. Been a while since I fired up GW2, but I’d say it played around 20-30FPS most of the time in PvE on med/high settings (not counting heavy battles or WvW).

I’d recommend it

If the OP wants to do large dynamic eventsl ike the dragons or WvW, then he/she is screwed. but for PvE, yes u can get ‘tolerable’ fps with cheap laptops like above.

However as i always consider the game as a whole, including WvW, and not just limited to PvE, i still stick to my comments in my 1st reply.
