ehhh. Not really well probably.
My quick google search of those specs leads me to some meh-class ASUS laptop.
It might run up to 1.5x - 2x internal resolution okay for some games, assuming that CPU doesn't overheat and slow down.
Really depends on the cooling when you're going with ULV processors. They have very low thermal throttling thresholds.
Oops, should've mentioned the model, it's a (meh-class) Acer E5-571G-760Q.
Thanks for the answer. Would by any chance those games it'd run okay include the Mario Galaxy games? :p
No.
SMG is one of the more GPU reliant games you can play in Dolphin and your GPU in that laptop is pretty weak. While Broadwell CPUs are fairly efficient (Pretty good perf considering it's 15W TDP), I'm not particularly comfortable saying that it would be good enough for Dolphin in most cases, as the highest clock speed it'll go is probably bare minimum what I would recommend with the latest development builds of Dolphin, and that "turbo boost" isn't designed to sustain those clock speeds over time.
EDIT: If I were to make a best guess and you wouldn't pick another laptop, I'd say it would be very hit or miss. Judging by the very outdated Dolphin Benchmark we have and then shaving off a few minutes for processor efficiency and the fact that we're a lot faster with the JIT now, yeah. Very hit or miss with games.
Is the GPU the biggest bottleneck? How would this one compare?
Samsumg NP500R5HE
Intel i5 5200U Dual Core 2.2Gh (2.7 Turbo Boost)
NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2GB
8 GB LPDDR3 1600 MHz
No. The CPU is. That Samsung would be even worse.
What's your budget?
About R$3000, not sure how much that'd translate to considering taxes and whatnot, maybe $600~700?
That's R$5000... damn taxes.
Probably no then. If you start to go below $700 USD, it becomes difficult to find a new laptop with a non-ULV CPU. ULV broadwell CPUs can emulate some games okay, but I wouldn't bet on it being a nice experience or full speed in many cases. Simply because that thermal limiting threshold is pretty low on those chips.
Found that Dell for R$4400. Seems like it's worth it going a little overbudget with this one. Thanks a million.
