Well, my QEMU Virtual CPU does run at 3.4 GHz, so it isn't *that* ancient.

I also have another machine; here are its specs:
1GHz ARM11 core (BCM2835)
Videocore IV GPU
512MB RAM
8GB storage (more than the other computer, which has a CD-ROM but no hard drive)
Runs my own build of Buildroot (though it can run Raspbian, of course)

was mostly about the old vga device in qemu ..

im using an thinkpad x230, I7-3520, about 5 years old .. yes its only 12" screen, but i like the light weight

Yeah fallout 4 is amazing, i played it myself :) New vegas was awesome too. Yeah i know, you need some decent hardware for this one.

i7-4890k, 16GB, GTX 1080ti, 144hz 1080p

The daily struggle ;D

Intel i5-4590 / Intel HD4600 + 32 GB RAM + SB X-Fi

PC: Quadcore i5-4430 3GHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX660, 8GB RAM.
Laptop: Dualcore i3-4030U 1.9GHz, Intel HD Graphics 4400 (I think), 4GB RAM.

My current PC is only the fourth computer (third PC) I own since the 80's (not counting one netbook and one laptop), and the first one with an actual GPU fit for modern gaming and bought several years ago with modern gaming in mind. I usually don't upgrade my hardware for games, I just wait until the PC breaks down or it's so far behind the current standard that I just can't stand it anymore (but I'm patient in that regard, I was still using a Pentium 2 way into 2k, and I grew up with freeware and shareware games, I can always find something to play).

I have a lenovo with 13,3", i like the weight too and it's, at the moment, also enough for me :)

My new, gaming-laptop based battlestation. I love old games, not old and slow systems (except the ones in my retrohardware collection) :-P

Just to prove that this is real I made a screenshot of speccy and cropped it so Yes this is real! that GFX card cost me $699 on sale!

Nice! I have the 1050Ti version (GL553VE), but the rest of the specs are surprisingly similar. I'm also using an external monitor, a regular mouse and keyboard, and have the laptop sitting on a 4 silent-fan high-performance cooling pad behind the monitor :).

Btw, not sure if yours gets any hotter than mine, but I've checked laptop-keyboard level temperatures while gaming and it's barely lukewarm in most cases, so you don't HAVE to keep the lid raised, especially since you're using a cooling pad as well - I know a lot of people who are paranoid about that, but I've repeatedly tested this particular laptop in various high-stress situations and haven't noticed any difference. Of course this varies from laptop to laptop, but since ours are fairly similar I'd expect the same will apply to yours.

Still on my aging ASUS gaming laptop (G75VW). Not sure how old it is by now, 4 or 5 years I figure? Even more? Running Windows 7/64bit.

I guess it struggles with the newest games already (newer than The Witcher 3; TW3 itself seemed playable to me with around medium settings and 1280x720 resolution), but that is ok for now as I still tend to play a bit older games at this point.

I could tell though that my ASUS is long in the tooth because six months ago when I bought a cheapo 700€ Acer laptop to someone and quickly tested how well The Witcher 3 ran on it, it ran it considerably better than my ASUS. I think it could run it at 1920x1080 resolution and mostly high graphics settings quite fine. It has some mid-low level NVidia GPU in it.

I also have an old Pentium desktop with Windows XP on it, and even have a couple of GOG games (and also my older retail games) installed on it. It runs e.g. GOG Dark Reign, Broken Sword and Empire Earth great. I rarely use that PC though, it is mostly just my backup machine for some old games that may have issues on newer hardware/OS.

EDIT: And when it comes to my future PCs, I am pretty much a laptop guy now. I just don't feel like buying another desktop anymore, it just takes too much room and I love the ability to move around my (gaming) laptop easily. For instance, just today my wife went to a trip while I am home for a couple of weeks alone (I just came back from the airport where I drove her), so I figure I'll move this laptop to the living room for these weeks so that I can play games and do internets with it WHILE watching TV. Best of the both worlds, I don't have to decide whether to watch some boring movie or play some game, I can do both! Wheeeee! And if I feel like it, I can even connect the laptop to that TV with HDMI and use it as a big-ass monitor.

Heh, I put the lit half-closed because I noticed, while waiting for my AOC G-Sync monitor to arrive from Amazon, that there was excessive heat coming from the monitor side of the PC and not just behind it. The heat was noticeable, especially while gaming, so I've decided to use extra care because I want my new PC to run as good as new even when it will have become just a member of my retro-PC collection :-P

Prefered hardware, one i use as much as possible:

Acer Aspire One d270
Intel Atom N2800 dualcore 1.8ghz
3.25gb ram (4gb, hardware only recognizes 3.25. it came with 1gb)
Intel GMA 3650 integrated graphics (Unlocked bios and "overclocked" it to access up to 512+ mb memory)
Western digital "black" 7200 rpm 1tb HDD (replacement from original)
aftermarket 9 cell battery, letting this thing run forever between charges.
Removed ability to connect to internet (For reasons)

And the hardware i use when i have to:

Asus ROG GL551
Intel i7 4720HQ quadcore 2.6ghz
16gb ram
Intel HD 4600 graphics + nvidea geforce gtx 960m
Crucial bx100 250gb SSD (replacement from original)

Oh, ok.

Yeah, I just remembered you have a dual fan cooling system blowing towards the rear of your laptop, as opposed to a single fan - single side-cooled heatsink on mine. To be honest that was one of the reasons I went with the 1050Ti in the end: decent performance for decent cost and not too much generated heat / drained power (only 75W!). But of course yours is more future-proof :).

Anyway, enjoy it - it's quite a rig you've got there.
