I was going to get this computer so I could get into melee but I I am not sure if it can run it.

Processer: 2.2 GHz Core i5-5200U
RAM: 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM
Graphics Coprocessor: NVIDIA 940M
Graphics Card Ram Size: 2000 MB

I don't really have experience with netplay but my mom's computer which I'm currently doing work for school on (as you can see) has specs close to that laptop in terms of the benchmarks that I saw. The specs:
Processor: i3 550 @ 3.2Ghz
RAM: 4GB
Graphic Card: AMD Radeon HD 5760

I quickly ran melee on fountain of dreams and it runs on 60 fps pretty smoothly. It might probably run even better with the netplay community build which includes lagless fountain of dreams.
If anything, it'll be your graphics card that would be the limiting factor though I don't know how good the onboard graphics + coprocessor really work. Perhaps look at the dolphin website for some further guidance.

Yeah, yours will run it fine. Really the only thing that you need to run Melee in Dolphin is a decent graphics card. And by decent I mean if it isn't out of an HP laptop, you're good to go.
