thanks for the reply admin89, i wanted to check again before i order this today.

If any one else has different opinions please reply. Thanks

As admin89 said, Option 1 totally since it's got higher clock frequency which Dolphin requires to play decently.

Option1 : 4Cores no HT 3.3ghz

Option2 : 4Cores +HT 2.9ghz

Dolphin uses 2cores(with lle 3cores)

go for Option 1


Option 2 is only a Solution for CAD,Photoshop,grahpicer,coder,etc...
but not for gamer

Go 1!

has anyone else noticed that only the CPU is different between the options?

lol. 1, most definitely.

Personally i would say that you should base a laptop decision on dolphin, i'm going to go against the grain and say option 2. Sure you may gain a frame for two with the higher clocks, but then again if they ever gett LLE on thread working well, you might be better off anyways. Then for pretty much everything else besides dolphin you be better off
