Laptop under $600 specifically for dolphin - parmpreet001 - 09-26-2015
I prefer a 500$ price point, been looking around and the best laptops in that price range seem to have a 5200u cpu, which in not sure Is adamant enough to run dolphin. The games in particular I want to play include the likes of Xenoblade, both Fire Emblem games, F Zero, Last Story(unlikely since that game is really hard to run), and pandora's tower.
I also would Like to run PcSX2, although it's not a priority. For pS2 I would like to play Persona 4, KH, FFX, FFXII, and the Dragon quest games. Iirc all those games aren't too difficult to run, not sure about Dragon quest.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Don't get any laptop with an ULV CPU. It won't run Dolphin well.

You will need at least $900 for a gaming laptop to run those games full speed
Laptop isn't cheap . $400 custom built desktop is still a better choice for low budget
A multimedia laptop is cheaper than gaming laptop but it's much slower and overheat easier than gaming one
