Doesn't sleep, just Dolphin and Robots

The CPU is a great choice for Dolphin. It's what I have, and I haven't had problems with a CPU bound game yet.

You may want to look into getting a dedicated gaming laptop. The y510p has the CPU and GPU on the same heatsink, so if one gets too hot it can throttle the other. That won't happen on a gaming laptop with separate heatsinks (also there's a lot of extra bezel around the screen that distracts from using the computer. My friend has one, and we both don't like it). They will cost a bit more, but (at least for me), the cost is justified by having a stronger gaming laptop.

Look into Sager laptops. They're good looking and moderately priced for a gaming laptop.

Poll: Will my computer be able to run games decently?
	Oh, yeah. You'll definitely be able to run all your games with the graphics settings you mentioned.
	Well, you'll be able to run games, but you might want to reconsider your choice in graphics options for it to work.
	You'll be able to run some games with the graphics options you mentioned, but some will have to have lower graphics settings.
	You'll be able to run some games, but don't get your hopes up with the lowest settings.
	You'll be able to run Dolphin on that machine when pigs fly (by themselves, no airplane assistance).
