I need a new laptop for school, but I also want to use it to play Guild Wars 2 on. The most attractive one for me is the Surface Pro which is coming out in 13 days, and it has the Intel HD 4000 integrated chipset. Now, I've been doing a lot of searching and this chip is used in almost every single ultrabook I can find that's not custom built and over 1500 dollars. The Surface Pro seems to have some really great specs and is offered at a really great price considering those specs, so it's a no brainer for me to get it.
But, as this will be my only PC (and by far better than the shitbox I have), I would like to play some Guild Wars 2 on it. Obviously, if I could get a gaming machine I'd do it, but I need something very portable and small. So I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there who is using this card and what they think about it? I'm not looking for blast-your-eyes off graphics obviously - I'm getting this mainly as a machine for school. But, something that intrigued me was that at CES journalists were given the game and they played Bulletstorm on it and said it was impressive, though not in the +60 fps territory. I would assume somewhere between 30-40 when they say that.
