The following examples were published by ArenaNet: <ref name="Mac example config">[https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28147936-Guild-Wars-2-Mac-Edition Guild Wars 2 Help], Mac hardware currently capable of Guild Wars 2</ref>  
 
* iMac 21.5", 27" (Mid-2010 or Mid-2011)
* MacBook Pro 15", 17" (Mid-2010)
* MacBook Pro 13", 15", 17" (Early and Late-2011, Mid-2012)
* Mac Mini (Mid-2011)


=== Display ===
;Notes
While perfectly playable on smaller displays, the "Small" [[Options_panel#Graphics_Options|Interface size]] appears to be designed for about 1400 pixels wide, and the "Normal" interface size for about 1550 pixels wide.  On smaller displays than this, the [[Chat panel]] pops up out of alignment from the row with the skillbar and minimap.  Resize it smaller from the upper right corner.  However, at 1280 pixels wide, even with the interface size on small, the minimum width of the chat box does not fit in one row.
* Specs are subject to change in the future.
