Guild Wars 2

I want to appologize if this has already been covered, but I am extremely excited to get my hands on this expansion and love all the work that’s gone into Guild Wars 2. I have my physical copy of the game sitting on my shelf currently and was wondering how this is being released. Whether it’s through the website or if I’d be able to go to Game stop and preorder the expansion and have it sitting right next to my boxed Guild Wars 2.

Thanks!

First question to get out of the way, is this laptop going to be used as a desktop replacement?

Second question I have would be, if NOT a desktop replacement, how much mobility would you be looking for? Where can you see yourself taking the laptop often?

Third, I would agree to go with Sager as well, that being said the +$100 for a gloss screen is absurd. To get a reference on matte vs glossy, those matte screens have ruined so many a display from being great displays. Of course using gloss can have it’s downside if you don’t have a room set up for gloss screen glare.

That being said, I would definitely add a small SSD for boot drive in the lappy, whichever you choose, because that will make you feel at home with a new setup.

Yes, I have a current desktop that runs Guild Wars 2 at full graphics perfectly. However, I’m getting an apartment with a few friends and my desktop is very spacious. It would be a desktop replacement. I don’t mind moving a 17" laptop, where it may be hefty and quite a weight to carry around, it’s not something I’ll be taking on a daily basis, most of the time it’ll be on my desk.

I am going to first of all apologize as I’m not incredibly tech savvy. I do know a few things when it comes to computers, I understand RAM, the processor and video card are the main reliants when it comes to running games.

Anyway, I’m looking at this laptop here: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/?sb=:000001C9:0000F3AF:#customize
And was wondering if you believe it’d run Guild Wars 2 (all aspects, PvP, WvW) and if it did do you believe it’d be able to do it at a high graphic quality? I have a pretty decent budget to spend on a new laptop and was wondering if this is a good choice or if maybe I could get more bang for my buck with a different laptop. (My budget is looking around $1,500, but subject to change).

Thank you for your time.
