I'm a relatively new user to Dolphin and have loved it so far. However, my laptop is ~7 years old and has trouble playing some games. It works fine for games like New Super Mario Bros Wii and Mario Kart Wii, but there is significant stuttering for others like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy (even at native resolution with all emulation option set to result in the best performance).
I'm planning on buying a new gaming laptop within the next few days and wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations. I'm not overly sensitive to price, thinking something in the neighborhood of ~$1,500 but open to going higher if it'll guarantee I can run most games in HD with no stuttering or lagging. I'd like to continue using Ubuntu as my OS but would be willing to do Windows if it'd help improve performance. I'm going to go with a 1TB hard drive, 16GB of RAM and 4K resolution, but I'm not familiar with the best processor or graphics card for use with Dolphin.
Any recommendations? Happy to provide any additional information if helpful. Thanks!
