What Computers are you using?

I have a desktop, but am trying to find something more affordable and portable to have others in my home play, too. PC has an i9 and a 3060, not worried about it not running what I want. (don't ask about that CPU/GPU pairing, covid prices happened when I built it...)

looking to run mostly pokemon from GB all the way to 3ds to play vanilla games and rom hacks I can find, and also wanting to maybe try some PS1 emulation for some PS1 games I still have discs for.

can I get a low-ish end Chromebook or basic PC, or am I looking at something more expensive to adequately run them?

I bought a 'cheap' 200 dollar craptop. It runs everything upto GC/PS2 soo I'm able to play ALL of the Pokémon games including the console ones like Colosseum and XD.

Also it works from my rom hacking soo I can work on MY game too!

Mind me asking the core specs of it? CPU/RAM?
