Hi
Im going to buy a new laptop which can handle the new zelda with good graphics like 3x and no lag. What setup should the laptop have and how much will it cost me?
Give me the lowest price for a laptop that can handle all games in dolphin! Smile
Thanks alot!
You'll need a highly overclocked desktop with the latest tech to get the performance you want. No laptop is gonna do it on the market right now.
None. And the gaming laptops are huge, big pain to carry around. And expensive.
Mine cost 700 USD , weight 2.2kg (4.4 lbs) but i don't think it can run all game without lag .It run Zelda SS fullspeed though
You should consider a Sandy Bridge CPU (i7 2720QM , i7-2620M ,i5 2540M for example) and Nvidia GT 555M / AMD 6770M which may cost around 1000-1800USD

Some Lenovo laptop are cheap as well
I haven't been able to get my bluetooth dongle working yet, but I've been able to throw all my working gamecube and wii games at dolphin at my Y570 and they run at fullspeed. I did upgrade the ram to 8 gigs though. I think all told it was around 850.

Sorry would the game run on "Ok" setups btw? My specs are below on my sig. I want this game badly - I found that it worked pretty well, somehow - but I couldn't "point" my wiimote to my laptop because I don't have the sensor. And also, would Dolphin support game controllers - say if I bought the classic controller to connect to the wiimote to play the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess?
