Hello everyone,
So I have a Dell inspiron 15R 5537 Laptop at present (i5-4200U, 1.6 2.6Ghz, dual core, 4GB RAM and AMD 8600M (?) I think lol).
It plays some games fine on Dolphin but I am looking for an upgrade to a better laptop mainly for Dolphin, Wii-GC; PS2 and PSP emulation purposes and PC games. Desktop out of the question for me due to my Uni and work.
I lurked these forums and others for quite some time now, found out info about Dolphin usage in relation to various CPUs and GPUs, could not find anything on this Laptop and it's CPU for Dolphin emulation, have my heart set on buying it, so I ask for your advice in this matter.
The laptop I am considering is this: http://www.dell.com/au/p/inspiron-15-555...=PD_Family. Reason being it is the best in my budget ($1200) that I can buy with ease in Australia, and being new.
I apologise for the link having 3 models, but I am considering the middle one in the lineup with these specs:
New Dell Inspiron 15 5000: 5th Gen Intel Core i7-5500U Broadwell Processor (4M Cache, to 3.00 GHz). 8GB Dual Channel DDR3L RAM 1600MHz (4GBx2) and NVIDIA GForce920M 4GB DDR3.
I care more about compatibility and stable FPS as opposed to picture perfect graphical emulation, and if it can play twilight princess and demanding; or most of the wii games library, with stable FPS, medium or low settings and minimal problems, that is good with me. Had a wii but it broke, and I need a new laptop anyway so I humbly ask for your advice if this laptop is good enough.
Very sorry for the lengthy thread, could not reduce the word count but tried my best.
