Sorry for knowing nothing about computer hardware, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me here :) I want to find a laptop for some light mmo gaming (Guild Wars 2 and Tera) and general Uni work.

However my problem in finding a laptop with a good enough graphics card for these is that fact that I can't stand Glossy screens on laptops, so my pickiness has limited me to Matte screens.

Is this laptop able to handle the gaming aspect? If anyone has any other suggestions for matte screen laptops capable of handling some gaming please post them.

Thanks!

Yes, you should be able to do some light gaming with that. My only worry is that the system requirements for TERA seem to include a processor that runs at 3.2GHz, and that's for the minimum requirement. I haven't personally tried running stuff like that on a processor with your speed, but I'd expect a some issues. You should be able to play Guild Wars 2 without any issues at all, though; you were significantly ahead of the system requirements there.
