Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Quote:As far as dolphin is concerned this is not the way to go then?

um.....no.

Never go for a low power system when you need extreme horsepower. Ultrabooks use sandy bridge ULV (ultra low voltage edition, low clock rates/voltage).

MBA?

Crippled in what way? Dual core 1.2GHz arm cortex-A9 based cpus achieve similar performance to dual core 1.6GHz atom cpus while consuming less than 1/3rd of the power (and cramming a lot more stuff onto one chip, thus reducing system cost substantially).

Think he means the Mac Book Air. Or are you questioning why specifically the Mac Book Air?

At any rate, I just saw my first commercial for an ultrabook, something about a lady on a plane and a flight attendant (didn't pay that much attention to it). Even though I can't imagine myself with one, I have to admit, they are intriguing. They've got the appeal right, at least.

Ultrabooks ha ha who need them when there's Super Bocks!

WOA hardware is fine, its only WinRT/metro software allowed (except for Office, MS doesn't have to play by their own rules). No quick'n'easy ports existing software. Windows without its library of software becomes just another OS. It probably doesn't matter to the spend all day on Facebook crowd but they already have iPads.
