hey, i am looking to buy a laptop that will let me play most games on dolphin at reasonable speeds. preferably from http://www.compusa.com
thanks in advance.

ps. i was looking at this? is it any good?: http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7105752&Sku=S170-164103&cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot%2001-_-CatId_17_S170-164103

Checkout my latest project ( it is a program that downloads and compiles dolphin on mac and linux now): http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu-downloader (It's unofficial and maintained by me, not the dolphin dev team)

Hyperthreading... not really...
Hmm, AFAIK it will run most games flawlessly... maybe Super Mario Galaxy will run around 95% speed with lowest settings, but the rest of the compatible games will easily run full speed with TurboBoost enabled. Try getting a cheaper laptop for that price.

RAM (Memory) = 9,4 / 10
Processor = 7,7 / 10
Graphics Card = 8,6 / 10

I would say, buy it!
