Basically, I'm asking what the title says. 
 
Due to lifestyle choices, I've had to use a laptop for a long time, and I'm somewhat skeptical over how well GW2 is optimised for lower end machines. If anyone has any idea, that'd be super great, and I'd appreciate it! 
As a background, this thing runs Starcraft 2 and I played Rift / TF2 / Fallout New Vegas. Now bear in mind, I dont really give a shit about a lot of the graphical options. I'd rather play things at 1280x768 on low graphics so it runs better than have better specular lightning and so on. 
 
As a VERY quick breakdown, I'm running: 
 
AMD E2-3000M APU @1.8ghz (2 CPUs) 
4GB Ram 
AMD Radeon HD 6380G (Which I think is shared memory with my RAM) 
 
Many thanks in advance!

Honestly I don't think it will run well at all but on lowest settings the game looks pretty bad so you may be able to get some stable gameplay out of it.

Yeah... I don't know about this. My old desktop had comparable hardware and it barely slogged through BWE1 and BWE2 at about 2 FPS. No hyperbole. Bearing that in mind, they have done a ton of optimization, but I still wouldn't count on stable game-play with this rig.

System

Intel Core Duo T2500 2.0GHz

2.5 GB RAM

Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 256MB

Ran GW2 on lowest settings and got on average 20-30 FPS during gameplay. Very low FPS in character creation and during some conversation cutscenes and big world events.

Hope this helps.

I was running the game on a Gefore 520 until recently (that's the minimum requirement GPU I believe), and the game ran at 30-50 fps (although it did drop below 30 in zergs and situations with lots of particle effects). All graphics settings were on low/off though, and the resolution was 1024x768. However, the card was paired with an i5 2310 and 8GB ram.

Since your system is quite a bit worse than the one I described, I don't think this game will be very playable on your laptop.

I found the best option that really improved frame rates was to choose the lower quality version for "render sampling". It made it look like a poor man's depth of field but my fps jumped a whole lot and it looked ok to me.

I remember the game said my FPS was over 100 at one time. I was like, "What the hell? Really?" But I've actively only checked it twice. The other time, I was in town, and it was in the 80s.
