GW on Notebook?

Hi all

After 4 years its time to replace my notebook with something newer.
I am planning to buy is a 13'' notebook, as my main requirement is portability. Since notebooks have gotten so much faster, and GW so much older, I assume it is possible now to actually play it even on such "small" notebooks.
I am a bit overwhelmed by the gazillions of models out there, though, so I am looking for experience from people who run GW on such computers.
I have no other gaming requirements, I just want GW to run on it

Thanks for any advise

Try to get one with a dedicated graphics chipset if it's in your budget. Anything that says Intel will not offer a "good" GW experience and may even be unplayable at certain points ingame.

laptops are hmmm, your gonna want a dedicated graphics card like elder said, unfortunately those aren't exactly cheap. also as elder said Intel is pretty bad with dedicated cards so stay away from them.

Gaming laptops and portability don't exactly fit in the same sentence.

Try to get something with a nvidia 9400M or so.
