I've been wanting to play GW2 for quite some time and finally have a decent amount of money saved up to buy a new comp to play it. Ive currently got my eye on this one. It seems to meet all the mini requirements but I could use a few more opinions. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/15-6-laptop-4gb-memory-750gb-hard-drive-intel-174-core-8482-i3-3120m-processor/2430014.p?id=1219072705933&skuId=2430014&st=categoryid$pcmcat247400050000&cp=1&lp=1#tab=specifications

I'm not looking for max settings or WvsW, just normal playing and basic pvp.

Yeah that computer should run just fine. The graphics card isn't anything to write home about but it will surely do the job for at least Guild Wars 2. That comp is similar to my old laptop just slightly more powerful. I played Guild Wars 2 myself and I had absolutely no trouble playing the game. I only had frame rate drops when I was in a very populated area (Lion's Arch and sometimes WvsW). WvsW was mostly fine, and fun, to be honest.

I didn't play the game after the second month it came out (No end game made me stop playing, but it was a new game so what do you expect). They added a lot more to it so you'll probably enjoy the game. Anyway, you'll be fine playing that game with that laptop. I ran it on normal settings and it was fine. Sometimes it took a little longer than wanted to load a heavy populated area, or to start the game in general but if you can look past that, go for it.
