I am interested in buying a tablet but would like to get something that would allow me to play GW2 when traveling.

The Razer Edge Pro looks like it would do the job. I saw a video in which GW2 was executed on this tablet. However, the tablet uses NVIDIA graphics, and I believe GW2 has compatibility issues with NVIDIA.

The ASUS Transformer TF710T is newer and has generally better tech specs than the Razer Edge Pro. However, it has an Android OS, and I have not seen any indications that one could run GW2 on it.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

You’ll need a Tablet running full-fledged windows to be able to play GW2 with it, and there are not many of those, specially because their poor battery life. You could try a Surface 2 Pro, which has a regular Windows 8 (instead of the Windows 8 RT) and has an intel core i5 processor (unlike the tablets with an ARM processor, which can’t run GW2). I don’t know which integrated graphics does it have and if they can support GW2 or not.

The Razer Edge Pro looks good but there have been issues with GuildWars2 and windows 8 this tablet has an i7 processor in it but the manufacturer only rates the thing at 2.5hr battery live running GuildWars I would think it would be fare less.

Opinions are like ______ everyone has one I could
put the correct term in but not everyone has kittens

Been doing some more research today. What are your thoughts about the following ultra-thin gaming laptops? Any suggestions other than these?

1. Razer Blade (14" 1600×900 LED, i7-4702HQ quad core, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M, 16.8mm thick, 1.88kg)

2. Gigabyte P34K (14" 1920×1080 LCD, i7-4700HQ, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M, 21mm thick, 1.76kg)

3. Gigabyte P35K (15.6" 1920×1080 IPS LCD, i7-4700HQ, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M, 21mm thick, 2.26kg)

I have looked at Sager and iBuyPower. They do not offer anything with as small a form factor as Gigabyte. Gigabyte has also received positive reviews from Anandtech.

TBH anywhere u can use a super thin laptop..u can use a big bulky gaming laptop. Weight isnt even an issue becouse even the biggest most bulky laptop isnt exactly heavy.
So dont limit urself to thin ones ,specialy if u intend ot game on them ..thin laptops = poor cooling = overheat during gaming.
