Hi, well, i want a new laptop to do stuff, (dolphin included), i dont need a desktop pc because i need to move and do other kind of things, so what kind of laptop would be a good one? thanks.
Depends where you live... and what you want to play. Wii games requires much more GPU performance I think.

Dual core 2.2+ Ghz (imo get a 2.6ghz or higher)
Radeon HD4500+ series for GC games?
GF GT230 series or higher for Wii?
3-4GB Ram
no they don't. They require just about the same. A geforce 7800 is plenty to run dolphin. But yeah get something between 2.6 to 3ghz.
Some Intel Dual core between 2.6 and 3.00 Ghz ( copy/vasta from extreme64 Tongue ) , anything with an Nvidia or ATI card ( is a laptop right ?) , and 2-3 Gb RAM . And OS win7 or XP
preferably windows 7 and 2gb or more of ram
Why get laptop to emulate wii when you can get a wii laptop.

But if you lack the skill to make one of those you're probably going to get much better results on a desktop.
