I just wondered if there's anyone with experience of running Dolphin on a Chromebook? With either Linux or the Android version?
I'm looking at picking up one of the higher end Chromebook devices (8GB RAM, Intel I5-8250U CPU with the Intel 620HD GPU) - appreciate that this isn't "high-end" in the land of PC gaming but really just wondering if anyone is using this emu on Chrome book?
If you're looking to specifically just run Dolphin, you should install Linux, as it has better support than Android running on Intel hardware (last time I checked).

Do you really want a Chromebook, or just an inexpensive Dolphin laptop?
The iris 620 graphics are questionable, my current NUC uses the iris plus 650 graphics and handles 2x and sometimes 3x resolution. Maybe native resolution? I can't comment on the CPU though.
