That's pretty exciting to me! Would you consider this laptop "future proof"? as in, would it last me 3 - 4 years or so? I'd hate to drop $1000 only to see slowdown in a year or two.
It's really hard to tell where Dolphin will go in the future.
In terms of general computing, it will last a good number of years
I have the 2670 QM processor, which is a few magnitudes slower than that, and I can run Melee and Project M on netplay.
I have a laptop with a 4700mq and it runs both flawlessly. Make sure you set the game to use the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated card though so you don't overheat.

how would I do that?
Dolphin->Options->Graphics->Adapter->Intel integrated

Beware that it's not a gaming laptop , it will run really hot at full load (overheating is possible) . Dolphin is somewhat more demanding than Prime95 torture test ...
Isn't it more demanding in some ways? I mean Dolphin only uses 2 (sometimes 3) threads on a CPU, while Prime 95 can run on every single thread your computer is capable of running, stressing all the cores of a CPU. They both seem to have their uses (plus Prime95 is more of a longterm test, the longer you go means more time for it to fail and/or heat up).
