Okay im getting a Sony Vaio NW11SS tomorrow.

And partly the reason im getting it is because my current computer is ****

fingers crossed its good enough but ill leave it to the pro's of the forum to answer wether its good enough:heh:

Here are the specs:

-Intel Core 2 Duo processor T6500
(2.1Ghz, 800Mhz, 2MB Cache)

- 4gb DDR2 SDRam

-ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 GPU 512MB

taa

Its good enough to run dolphin but i dont know if you will be seeing full speed in many games.

 

[Deejayvoo]

Okay so what kind of fps are we looking at then?

 

[niuus]

Weak cpu... it's a laptop after all. Expect regular performance.

 

[Deejayvoo]

regular performance, meaning a decent speed on most games? *prays*:innocent:

 

[Gareth1977]

I think you should see decent fps on some games, but it really depends on the game. Some have higher system requirements than others.

hm, you pretty much need a 2.8Ghz or higher to get maximum performance out of Dolphin, as that emulator will tax you CPU pretty hard at 100% all the time...

suppose you could try getting a laptop with a 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo T9600?

Well, at least the GPU should eat dolphin alive XD

Ok, deejayvoo,
with that frequency speed for the chip, don't have high hopes. It sounds like a nice laptop. Price is about 600 quid?

Unless you need the laptop's portability as part of school or work, you could use the money and build a faster desktop along with maybe a cheap non-tn display. Laptop displays usually have bad contrast/viewing angles. Otherwise it looks like a nice laptop, and to be honest, the emulator isn't perfectly fast or always fast with even the fastest machines..judging by what people put down in the video/pic threads.
