Wii emulated on Laptop or Wii on Lapop screen - Synonim - 01-15-2011

Hello guys, my laptop is MSI GX740

With Intel Core i5-430M
VGA ATI Radeon HD5870 1GB DDR5
4GB Ram
17" Screen

And i am wondering if games emulated will be with nice speed, since i only have the laptop 17" in my flat i currently have two options :

-Buy Wii and play on Laptop screen via USB Tv Tuner Video In
-Play Games on Emulator

So guys what do you think would be better solution to do?
Pros and Cons Please.

And second question, if 2 Wii motes are hooked up via Bluetooth is there no Delay in movment for example Wii Sports Tenis will be fast responding to moves or i will suffer movement lags?

Thanks for answers.

Some games will run fine, other heavier games will not.

Dolphin:
Pros:
-Higher image quality (AA, high resolutions etc.)
-Can use any controller you want
-Probably more that I can't think of

Cons:
-It's a WIP and you can expect most games to have major or minor bugs
-Lower performance than native hardware unless you are running a light game on extremely high end hardware

So overall wii > dolphin

No input lag from the input, however emulation may add some input lag.
