Bumping for Shonumi's testing reports?
Having looked a bit further into possible alternatives, I still think the Dell Inspiron 15 is the best choice for me (figured a 17'' display would be too big for practical purposes), if that Intel GPU manages to render things fine in Dolphin.

Hey neobrain, I actually did test it two days ago, sorry for the wait. I tested SMG2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (not a wide variety, but I didn't have too much time). They both rendered fine on 4.0-1234. I took screenshots of SMG2; look for the edited version of this post later after I eat some breakfast.
And now for the EDIT:

I know what you're thinking, "ONLY TWO?" yeah that's my free time for you
Fwiw, an Intel HD 3000 plays everything just as well on 4.0- 1234 (i.e. no graphical glitches). Used OpenGL on both my laptop and the family desktop (Intel HD4400 and HD 3000 respectively). So unless Mesa doesn't have good Haswell support, I don't think you have much to worry about with this new laptop.

Great, thanks for the info
And don't worry, those two screenshots are more than enough

Have you bought it yet?
Sorry I didn't get a chance to respond. I tend to be less inclined to help people when it involves inferior hardware platforms

Yup, I ordered it yesterday
