    No, not really :/. Could you give us your budget (how much you want to spend and what your max is)? This will help all of us pick a better laptop for you... assuming you don't want to build yourself a desktop for cheaper.

    SWTOR and Rift are pretty similar to GW2 in terms of PC requirements... Also, take those "will my PC run it?" sites with a grain of salt, they automatically compare specs to the minimum requirements from the game, but because it's a computer and not a person they are often wrong.

    Like Klutzington said, just give us a budget and a location and we'll try to find a better laptop for you.

    I recently picked up a laptop with a 7520G GPU that runs WoW pretty damn well on all low settings (which is really all I wanted it for, something to putz around on when out of town)

    I'll run GW2 on it tonight to see how it fares and let you know. I imagine the 7640/A8 combo will only run better than my 7520/A6

    It has to be from one of those pay monthly and we will charge u 3 times what the computers worth sites. Dont ask why it just does, so if its still possible for you to find a better one from one of them then pls do.

    I installed GW2 on my 7520/A6 laptop and it played... alright on low. WoW plays MUCH better on low/medium settings (60fps outside of raids, 30 inside raids). Strangely... GW2 'looks' a lot worse than wow on low settings. So, I don't know if that's an issue or not for you. However it played at about 30fps so... Take it for what you will. Playable, but I wouldn't want to use it outside of like occasional vacations

    Thats totally playable for me and graphics are meaningless to me as well. I played wow with 5-10 fps for 2 years just questing so i think i can cope with 30 fps hehe. Thanks alot.
