K so today is laptop-buying day, have been looking around, and currently I'm considering HP 17-2100EO Envy.
CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM (2,0 - 2,9 GHz, quad core, 6 MB cache)
RAM: 6 GB DDR3 RAM
Hard drive: 750 GB, 7200 rpm
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6850M
Chipset: Intel HM67 Express
Screen: 17,3", 1920 x 1080, reflective, high contrast, optical unit
Blu-ray reader, DVD/CD burner
802.11 a/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth
Battery: 6 cells, 62 Wh
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Now since I don't live in the US, the price will be hard to judge, I can get it for 9995 NOK ($1750), however stuff is expensive here, with taxes etc, so probably this is equivalent to $800-$1000 in the US. The reason I think maybe it's a good deal, is the other sides offering it has prices of 17818 NOK and 18984 NOK (then again, maybe these are just rip offs.)
So, obviously I value Dolphin performance, but I am asking more if this is generally a good computer for it's price. The GPU should be able to run most modern PC games, like SCII. But I don't need high settings in BF3. (But would be nice.).
Note: I searched a hardware site, limited search to laptop with screen res 1920x1080, of relevant PCs (by price) there was only this and another one with pretty much the same specs: MSI GT683R)
