It's hard to answer . The most common issue of multi-media laptop is heat problem , most multi-media laptop have single fansink for both CPU & GPU (gaming laptops have dual fansink) . When both CPU & GPU are at full load , your laptop temperature will skyrocket -> Overheating -> Turbo Boost will be disabled -> CPU & GPU clock speed go down -> Dolphin run slow

If you're only talking about specs ... Of course , the i7 is a quad core , turbo boost clock speed is also higher -> i7 3632QM is better CPU . Nvidia GT 640M 1080p (3x Internal Resolution , no AA ,16xAF) vs Nvidia GT 630M 720p (2-2.5xIR , noAA ,16x AF)

However , the i7 3632QM & Nvidia GT 640M run hotter ...
