Guild Wars 2

Im looking to get a laptop to play the game. I was wondering if the game would run with this configuration.

Intel® Celeron® Dual Core N2830 Processor
4GB Single Channel DDR3 1600MHz (4GBx1)
500 gb hard drive
intel hd 4400 graphics
windows 8.1

Probably not.

And that CPU doesn’t have an HD 4400. If a manufacturer or retailer is saying that, it’s a bald faced lie.

the celeron is the least powerfull processor from intel.

i would say no.

Maybe so, but it still beats 80% of AMD’s CPU/APUs that are on the market today :-)

From these specs, I am thinking you have about 350~ or so budget to work with? If so, I highly suggest buying Refurb/Used, as you WILL get more bang for your buck.

Those are my 2 used recommendations right now. Both are capable of 40FPS + at 1600×900 (the M6500 can push 60FPS at 1680×1050 with vSync on).

The trick is to find them with the i7’s for the best possible performance.

You need a winky there or some AMD supporter will get their knickers in a twist.

That lappy Bay-Trail based Celeron CPU (actually a revamped Atom dual core) is roughly the same power as an Athlon 64 X2 4000+ so it sort of meets the absolute bare minimum requirements for a CPU. But the embedded GPU just doesn’t cut it in any universe. It has an Intel HD Graphics not an HD Graphics 4400 and the difference is the 4400 has 5x the number of execution units.

There’s a reason it’s found in a $250 laptop.

for lower end laptops to play games with, i would get an amd apu rather than an intel unit as the integrated graphics on the amds are significantly better. The Intel hd5xxx series are pretty capable, but are only offered on high end ultrabooks/macs, at which point buying an actual gaming laptop (with intel cpu and discrete graphics) would be better.

That’s because more games are GPU rather than CPU bound and the integrated GPU in the AMD mobile line is so much better for those games. Still not great but not crap either.
