Which gaming laptop would you recommend for playing WvW?

[Kruzak.3076]

Hello!

 

I'm thinking about getting back to GW2. I mostly played PVE, because I have never had a rig powerful enough to handle large scale combat.

 

I'm considering Lenovo Legion Y530 with following specs:

 

- Intel Core i7-8750H 2.2/4.1GHz

- NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050 4GB VRAM

- 16GB RAM (2x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz

- SSD

 

Will it be enough to enjoy WvW without issues?

 

My budget is $1000.

I have no issues playing on my laptop (with a cool pad below and I play on low settings as I am scared of burning my laptop tho it can handle lil higher graphics) in any mode (crowded with ppl or not). Ofcourse FPS will drop when mass amount of players with effects but I have seen no frame crawls and hangs.

 

I'm using (I'm not tecchie so just copying what my laptop says and I can find :P ):

 

HP Pavilion Laptop with Win 10 Home 64 bit

Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80 GHz (8CPUs) , ~ 2.8 GHz

8GB RAM Memory

NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050 4GB VRAM

 

The game's minimum requirements are:

unless youre gonna be on the road a lot, its much better to play modern games on a regular desktop. cooling will always be an issue for laptops.
