Hello everyone,
I have been a big fan of using a variety of different emulators on my PC (NES, SNES, SEGA GENESIS) for quite some time now, and I have recently gotten the interest to try out a GameCube one. So I tried to run it on my current PC, and with my good old Intel Pentium 4 CPU, I believe it is needless to say how things turned out when I tried to run it. So, in turn, I decided it was time for an upgrade from my current PC to a new one.
Somewhat-long story short, my current PC can't run Dolphin, so I'm looking for one that will.
So I found this laptop (before anyone says to not buy a laptop and build your own computer for cheaper, I need the portability) that was in my price range, and now I'm considering buying it. Although, I am wondering if it would be able to run the Dolphin emulator.
Here is the link to the laptop that I'm planning to purchase:

Here is a list of some of the games I plan to run on the emulator:

I couldn't find any videos of gameplay on that specific graphics card or any info to see if the components will run Dolphin. So if anyone could verify if this laptop is adequate for the games I plan to run I'd greatly appreciate it.
