Hello all!

I'm buying the following laptop (still working to obtain the money for it...)
http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks...s=19&s=dhs

Would it run games on Dolphin fine?
I mean, around 18-27 FPS playing Super Smash Bros. Melee or Mario Sunshine.
Additionally, could it run games like Twilight Princess with at least 14 FPS? (or around)

If it can't, can someone PLEASE assist me in helping finding a laptop that can handle dolphin well?
I am willing to spend 454 USD...

Thanks a lot for helping me!

P.S. It wont overheat, will it? Tongue

Intel Graphic card slow like hell ,you won't get any good speed with that laptop and sure it will overheat & drain your battery fast,spend more 200$ to get core i5 can auto-overclock to 2.5GHZand Ati HD 5650 512Mb

it's got core 2 duo
it's got gtx260
whaddya want more?
Why would you want to buy a laptop to run the games that slow? I mean, why would you even buy a laptop for that?
he's saying at LEAST, plus we're not giving him what he's requesting. we're giving him what he needs for full fps Tongue
Dollar...And I live in Europe...hmm

Still too expensive...
Dammit!
and BTW 17 fps isnt slow its very nice.
I get 17 fps on this crappy celeron on project 64...
and it runs fine
I have a Toshiba Satalite L505 series that is a Centrino Core 2 Duo
2.1GHz - 2.1GHz with a Mobile 4 video card. Some games run fairly well, but try Tatsunoko Vs Capcom or Zelda and it plays about 2/3rds speed. Even Mario Galaxies run slow. I'm thinking that the only laptop that will run up to speed is going to cost a Grand or more. This bad boy cost $570.00 and it was one of the better models last October. But the newer version seems to have potential. Nevertheless, maybe going with the Desktop is better since they are easier to boost up to the level needed with less cost involved.

Any suggestions as to were to buy?
