Laptop vs Desktop for Xenoblade?

Desktop:
Q9550 @ 3.7ghz
GTX 295
4gb RAM

Laptop:
i7 2670QM, stock
GT555m
4gb RAM

Currently testing Xenoblade on my desktop, drops to 45fps on the title screen when running LLE audio (HLE is popping and delayed). Might my laptop run it better?

I know it sounds lazy, but I'd like to know if I should set time aside when I get home tonight setting up my laptop to work with dolphin, transferring ROM files, etc.

Thanks
