I'm thinking about getting a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition
but before I do I gotta know if its good for dolphin.

Specs:

CPU - Intel Core i7-3610qm (3.3ghz Max)
GPU - Nvidia Geforce GT 650m
RAM - 8gb Dual-Channel DDR3 1600

I want to play Kirby Return to Dreamland, Kirby Air Ride, Super Mario Sunshine,
Super Mario Galaxy 2, and a lot more
Dell Inspiron = overheating

Could I please get a helpful answer?
Yeah, all mentionned games are very playable, except Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Very demanding game as it needs LLE -> SMG1/2 needs Core i5-3570k @ 4.2GHz)
But be careful, multimedia notebooks are not built for heavy gaming (e.g. Dolphin).
