Lenovo y50 i7 4700hq 16gb ram gtx 860m - chris243 - 09-01-2014
Im considering buying this laptop and was wondering how it would do in dolphin. Im not too familiar with mobile processors so I figured I would ask here. Thanks

They label it as a gaming computer, but in reality its a glorified multimedia machine. The CPU and GPU share the same heatsink, so when one overheats, it will throttle the other. Which for Dolphin is bad.
Sager is a great computer brand, and will give a way better experience with PC gaming, Dolphin, ad everything else in general.
