They may also come with fewer cores when compared with their desktop variants with similar naming schemes, which may confuse you. Also, please be aware that while some laptops might come with the same CPU, their actual performance will vary from atrocious to good. This is due to their cooling system's differences, which will be either bad or good. As such, it is strongly recommended to pick a laptop with a decent cooling system for emulation. Otherwise, the CPU will clock down to prevent itself from overheating, which would mean decreased performance. |
