I didnt even check the link, but if you're spending $1000+ on a computer it will run Guildwars 1 and I'd bet a lot of money that it'll play Guildwars 2

Yes & Yes

You are also spending about $300 for the Alienware name only - if you are happy with that then go for it.

Im pretty sure GW2 will be able to run on any mid line pc since ANet has stated GW2 requirements will be slightly higher than GW1.

P.S don't buy alienware unless you like flushing money down the toilet.

It can EASILY run GW1 and more than likely GW2 fluidly on normal settings, if not the highest settings.

I agree that alienware is over priced, and you will be going through dell for customer service. Thats the bad news. The good news, if you can afford it and your not very tech savy, is that customer support is available(not the best in the industy), and they can help you if you run into problems or if you have any questions. They also have extended warranties and support services for extra cash if you feel you need it.

You may also want to ask yourself why you want a laptop. For example, If you need it to be really portable(school/work/travel), some prefer the smaller 12" screens, which can save you some cash. Regardless, as long as you get something with at least an i5-i7 processor, 4Gigs of DDR3 RAM, 1G Video Card, 3-500G Hard Drive, and built in Wifi/bluetooth, you should be able to run GW2 just about anywhere. If you let us know why you want a laptop it may help us narrow down the best option for you.

Also, if your a student and your getting a PC, any PC you buy thats worth over $650 with Windows 7, now comes with a free XBoX 360. All you need is a student ID.

I need it to be portable. Not that it has to be 12'' just not as big as a desktop. I need it for school mainly. But Right now my parents own a restaurant witch I work at. I dont have my license yet so when I get done there I hang around I have my pc there atm and do my school work on it but it takes up to much space. I want one good enough to play gw1/2 that way when I finish my school for the day I have something to do for an hour or 2.
