Hi guys,

today I got an older laptop usually just for studying .. But I was wondering if it's powerful enough to run games on Dolphin. It is called Latitude E6410

If its the one with the core i5-520M maybe a few of the less demanding games. I'm not sure though.

Shouldn´t have that much of a problem. Those games are normally lightweight*.

*When running on game´s native resolution and in single-player mode.
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 800/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

When I chose OpenGl it says the machine does not support OpenGL 3.0

That's because the iGPU in it only supports GL 2.1

So I tried some games and it turned out they are running like sh** ..

I'm planning to get a better laptop, would this one handle Dolphin well? :

Would have some advantages, but still suffer some slowdowns.

Not even my i5 4300M @ 3.2GHz can handle demanding games well
Base on Dolphin Benchmark Ivy Bridge (i5 3xxxM)is 30% slower than Haswell (i5 4xxxM) . Light-weight games may run ok with it but demanding games won't
If you want most games to run well , you will need atleast an i7 4700MQ or i7 4710MQ or i7 4700HQ... plus Nvidia GT 840M or better GPU

The HD 4600 iGPU in those Haswell chips you mentioned should be good for 2x-2.5x IR. You don't necessarily need dedicated graphics on those high-end mobile CPUs in order to get a good experience from Dolphin.
