I really hate myself for saying this but if you desperately eager for a gaming Laptop, then I think the Alienware model you provided here is the most suitable one for you.
Despite that it's an Alienware as I said earlier it have quite good specs after all.
But keep us updated with new prospects you might come up with.

Another option: With the 15% coupon Dell has on outlet... get a refurbished or scratch/dent Dell E6420 or E6520. i7 2.2Ghz (runs Dolphin at 2.9Ghz or better since turbo kicks in), I find the NVS 4200M works great for Dolphin... but it isn't great for other PC gaming. It is well suited to Wii emulation.
it's a bit heavy and a bit dated (no USB 3.0 support), but damn good deal for $780 with free shipping! That's with a top-end wireless adapter (Intel 6300), Bluetooth (Wiimotes!), 9 cell battery, 3 year warranty.
I'm just pointing out that there are far-less expensive high-quality laptops that run Dolphin well.

the i7 is running in turbo mode with 2cores in use @2.8ghz...
1core boosts to 2.9ghz...
4cores @2.6ghz...
with background services etc...
dolphin jumps between 2.6 and 2.8ghz
if the cpu is overheating it throotles down to 1.6ghz
and the overheating is a known problem

Your numbers are correct for the next model DOWN CPU. The 2.0Ghz base. I'm talking the next model, with 2.2Ghz base. I've compared both, side by side in laptops.
