My laptop is 7 years old starting to show it’s age. I’m worried it will die soon so I’ve been looking for a replacement, but DAMN are decent laptops expensive these days.

I would like something powerful enough to play stuff like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3 and FF:7 Rebirth (And most importantly, Monster Hunter Wilds when it comes out) at a decent framerate. It also has to be a university laptop, so nothing covered in RGB lights that looks like an Alienware fucked a Cybertruck, please.

I don’t want to spend a ton of money, but am I being unrealistic? I don’t want to spend 5000 on a computer, that’s ridiculous, my car cost less than that.

Yes it’s a shitty car, that’s not the point. Stop judging my poor ass.

Yes and emudeck will set all your emulators up for you and you only have to drop the roms and bioses in their respective folders

/SNES /GBA /PSP etc.

It handles all the controller bindings and adds all your roms directly to your steam library complete with cover art and organized by console into folders.

It’s a pretty capable PC for the price too.
