Hi guys

Please help me decide

I want to buy a laptop and also hook this up on HDTV. I cant decide between these laptops. Are these laptops good enough for full performance with the Dolphin and Full hd

and

The second notebook is a little bit better.

All games should be playable, but the demanding ones (like SMG, SMG2 etc.) won't run @ fullspeed
You can Build a PC half the price of a Laptop and Twice the performance.
or even a HTPC for the HDTV.

Laptops brake easy, and expensive to repair.

This ^^
If it has to be a laptop defenderx is right about the second one. If it doesn't Gir is right that a desktop would be an infinitely better choice.
thanks for the reply guys. I changed my mind. Instead I stick to a PC. Im not so experienced with building a PC

Is this any good:
AMD FX 8120 - 3,1 GHz / Turbo 4 GHz
AMD processor with 8 cores
12GB DDR3/ AMD Radeon HD7670 - 1 GB DDR5

Cerci,

Good choice to stick to a desktop rather than getting a laptop and ending up dissappointed.

Try to avoid the Bulldozer AMD CPU's if you wish to gain much better performance for Dolphin and other stuff, excluding heavily threaded apps ofcourse.

What is your budget?

Also, I see you're from the Netherlands. Which shop do you prefer to purchase your stuff from? (Mycom, Zercom, Azerty, etc)
Most of these shops also provide services to assemble the PC for you so you don't have to do it.
It does cost a bit, around €30~€50 or so.

Edit: For the €744 I can guarantee I can build you a much better setup for the money.
Garteal

Budget is around € 700-750. But if you can build a setup much better I'm all ears
I dont play much games on my PC but I intend to play games like Xenoblade, Last story, Zelda, Mario Galaxy etc hooked up on my HDTV.
You forget to mention your preferred store.

So you're only interested in emulation, not in PC games?

Don't forget that you're emulating these games, it's possible that you'll get slowdowns at times, or you'll experience crashes at times.
I'm sorry. I never bought stuff from those shops so ím not very familiar, so if you have some good tips for purchasing from those shops I'm grateful.
Overall I'm interested in emulating and it was time for a new PC. Seriously my first intend was to buy a laptop but im glad that I'm changed my mind

So now and then I play games on my PC but mostly on console. I dont play games like Battlefield or Call of Duty on my PC
