Yeah.

Twilight Princess is known to have some slowdowns even on high end systems but if you follow the configuration recommendations you should be fine.

I'd also make sure that your laptop is set to high performance mode when playing dolphin as many laptop's power management systems like to throttle clock speeds to save power. Setting Windows to high performance mode should work, or you can use throttlestop to do the same thing. Keep an eye on temperatures though because thermal throttling may happen.
