I´m about to buy a Laptop, which one would you recommend? - Tenchi_pioneer - 03-01-2010

Hi there guys,

I´m about to buy a Laptop for most of my daily uses, but i would also like to play some GC games on it.
Considering the available money i have (around 800-850 $), i was thinking of buying this one:

So, what do u think? Will it be able to run GC games on Dolphin or do i need something more powerful?
Thx for any help.

the processer is great i think but i dont know bout the graphic card
in my opinion GC games doesnt need a powerfull pc becoz as i try b4, the games are quite small like 1.4 gb and the graphic as i can say average and not as better as wii graphic

The Nvidia 230GT only 64 bit memory(atleast 128 or 256bit),directx 10 can run some game but don't expect fast speed,Core 2duo 2.2GB good for GC but not meet the requirement of wii(atlease 2.4GB)
