PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME

None, sorry, those are not gamer laptop.
Try to find a laptop with a GTX 660M in it at least.

As above. These are not gaming laptops.

I suspect from the 3 u have listed, u wont have enough money to afford a gaming laptop. Gaming laptops easily cost $/£1200+. They are alot more expensive than desktops of the same performance.

The Graphics card needs to be dedicated, and for proper gaming atleast a 660m.

For games like GW2 that use alot of CPU, then a high end CPU like atleast a 3630QM, preferably a 3740qm, or a Desktop 3820 CPU.

You obviously don’t love him that much :p

The game will run on these laptops, but you’ll rather watch paint dry than play Guild Wars 2 on these machines. They may meet the minimum requirements, but the minimum requirements are only there to tell you that the game will launch, not that the game will be playable in any sense of the word.

They all suffer with poor graphics.

Laptop two is using netbook class hardware so that’s right out.

Laptop three uses a bit more modern hardware than Laptop one and the CPU is a bit faster and the integrated graphics is also faster (but that’s like saying roller skating is faster than skateboarding but either form of transport can’t beat the speed of an actual car).

If price is your limiting factor, than Laptop Three is better than nothing. However if you can afford it, there are laptops that are in the $650-850 range online with either a GT 730M, GT 640M, HD 7730M or HD 8730M. Any of these will perform loads better than a humble integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000.
