Hello I wanted to know how well this laptop (ASUS U36SG-XS71) will perform Dolphin. I getting rid of my junk pc and going to college so i need to be sure before i drop the 1200 on it. I will would be very happy if someone could possibly tell me about the specs and how well they can run dolphin. Looking to record lps for my youtube channel both wii games and gamecube games.
Here is the list of my specs, i have been told by several people that it will be just perfect but i want to be absolutely sure before i purchase my laptop.

That's because of your Nvidia GT 540M - class 2 GPU (28.8Gb/s)
Look at his specs again , Nvidia GT 610m which is Nvidia GT 520MX - class 3 GPU (Yup ! nvidia just rename it) . With poor memory bandwidth (only 14.4Gb/s) , it can only do 480p which is the same as wii ....ruin the point of emulation

Seem ok for now . But you need that much space on the HDD ? Seriously, a gaming laptop without SSD is just.....
IMO :
_Add IC Diamond Thermal Compound Since dolphin is more demanding on the CPU than PC game
_Swap the 750Gb HDD to either 500Gb Seagate Hydrid Drive (HDD + SSD = Hydrid Drive) or 90Gb OCZ SSD
Windows Boot speed : SSD >> Hydrid Drive >> HDD
You can also buy an external HDD 2.5" later

the reason why i need that much space is because i plan to do lps on this laptop, so i need it to last for a long time, sdd vs the hdd argument is fun, but sdd is expensive as shit, and i can always swap out hard drives when i can afford it, the term poor college student seems to be extremely relevant recently and honestly i hate having a spending limit, but i need to make sure i get what i need, sdd will come later. and tghe ic diamond thermal compound is a very good suggestion, never thought about it.

Dude just put dolphin on a thumb drive with a game iso and bring a wii mote and nun chuck with you to micro center or best but and try it on there display laptops. When the security guard walks by just close the lid.
