Well, it's time for me to move on to college, and I want a notebook capable of running the emulator so I can play some games during breaks, but the notebook I want has a i3 330M CPU but it's from HP, so HyperThreading cannot be disabled. The PassMark score is in the 1900s, but I wonder maybe the P6100 [PassMark score 1500s] is a better choice, obviously a little slower but it has no HyperThreading... so what should I choose?
Edit: don't think I am stupid, I use PCSX2 too and emulators usually don't fare well with HyperThreading =P
Gahh I really hate options between Notebooks, I'm so bad at these things.
What's you're budget?

440 euro's eh?
Hmm that should get you a pretty decent Notebook but as I said I'm really bad at Notebooks with their corresponding hardware.
Besides these two you have mentioned have you found anything else that looks interesting?
As a side question what kind of games are you planning to play?

Unfortunately, I don't.
What kind of games I plan to play: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, Super Smash Bros. Brawl & Skyward Sword as soon as I have it

I only have experience from Super Smash Bros. Brawl here and that game runs quite great on lower hardware.
I must leave this to someone else more experienced in the Notebook area.
But if I were to choose I would choose the i3 330M one but that's just me.

I was thinking that too, but if I choose i3 and I can't disable HT then it means I'm using 1 real processor and 1 fake one, and that will obviously cause more lag than just 2 real processors!

Oh never thought like it that way.
Hmm well then that would be non beneficial for Dolphin I guess.
I found this one on a Swedish web store:
ASUS A73E 17.3" HD+
It costs around 4995 Swedish crowns and is around the 400 euro budget I think.
I don't know man I can't really give you top notch tips here but this one got a i3 2310M @ 2.1GHz CPU.

It got Intel HD graphics... I hate that so much, almost everything sucks on that and it bottlenecks a lot
Shit I knew there was something fishy about it.
If only it was a desktop, boy what tips I could give you.
Well I guess I could investigate a little bit further tomorrow in this, hopefully I find something good.
