Cheap laptop but good for gw2?
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.
