Want to buy a laptop for general use and gamecube emulation - Nickerous - 02-08-2017

Would this one work for Dolphin?

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYZ0J6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483667887&sr=1-1&;

If not, what would be better? I would love to get ps2 emulation too, but dolphin is the main focus. That and steam. Never had a computer that would run steam games. Coming from a 13 year old dell desktop. Don't hardly use desktops anymore and want portability. Any help would be appreciated!

This i7 7700HQ + GTX 1050ti 4GB

was $800 yesterday , it's $900 now but if you have a windows licence key you can download windows on the net , install it yourself , you can remove OS option . That should bring it down to $840
Also , you will have a Razer gaming mouse and mouse pad for free
GTX 1050ti is a desktop grade graphic card while GTX 960M is an old mobile GPU . GTX 1050ti is twice as fast as GTX 960M
