I think MOST of the people are in a boat like myself. Bought a lappy without the knowledge of how dolphin emulation works. Had i know it ran off two cores (and only two cores) i could of shopped around a little more, maybe even payed less, and gotten a laptop that could of emulated better than my machine did.

Lappys are going the way of more cores not faster cores, and as such more games (i think) will start to utilize that to their advantage. The dolphin programing does not do this.


Again, hands down.... IF someone gave me $1000 a said build me something that will play games or anything for that matter at the highest graphics settings and will be out of date the slowest. I would build a desktop. And you would be able to upgrade in about a two years and get another year MAYBE a year and a half out of it. So total for 3.5 years of gaming would be about.......... 1300$ or you could buy a lappy that could do the same thing that would last for about a year year and a half. then have to buy another lasting from 2-3 years for about 2600$ (1300 each lappy)
