What I did was buy a laptop desk from Ikea, turned out to be a fine investment. I could still sit on the couch with the news on while I did my homework. The only time it really got hot was when I played graphically-intensive games. GBC/A emulators should be cake for you.

just go for a good old desktop computer :P runs everything fine for me. Mobile computing is overhyped, enjoy nature while on the go, don't run against a street lamp like most smart people...

It's really not. You can run games on it but it can not be considered a gaming laptop.
It depends on what your needs are. For light gaming it will do the job fine if you're not picky about graphics.
As long as it runs Cemu and does not cook my brain bootrom sectors its fine
You won't be running Cemu at playable speeds on that. Even beefy desktop PCs have issues running it properly.

I can barely run BotW on it, so there's that. It's not too laggy or anything, just glitchy. A few other games aren't half bad, though, once you tweak it right. But a laptop is gonna have a hard time.
