Default New laptop

Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop for GW2, I understand specs haven't been released but I'm hopeing you guys will be able to give me a good idea.

I've been looking at quite a few laptops although other sugestions are welcomed:

XPS 15
intel core i5 460m
6gb ram
1gb nvidia geforce gt 420m

I'm kind of moving away from the i5

XPS 15 ($200 more)
intel core i7 1.73hgz/6mb
6gb ram
2gb nvidia gt 435

I really like the bigger graphics card and the processor

and then a Samsung np-rf710

will be used mainly for random internet surfing, GW, GW2 and school.


Thanks alot,

Travis

I suggest the i7 one its way more powerful for just 200$ , it will easily handle gw2 on 1920x1080 on Very high

I think the video card should influence your choice more than the CPU, at least for gaming. a i5 will run GW just fine.

Shame about that Samsung still sporting an older gen graphics card.

But when GW2 comes out, you'll have more and better choices. If you want a laptop now, then it's a different matter.
