I used to have a multimedia laptop back in 2012/2016 that was actually pretty decent for gaming at the time.
It cost me around £800 and came with a 2nd-gen i7, 8GB of RAM, and a GT 540M GPU. It handled emulation really well and could run PS3/360-era games at playable settings.
The downside was the heat - it ran hot.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take proper care of it (I was guilty of not replacing screws when they fell out), and over time it started to crack and fall apart. Eventually, it gave up completely… and the charger quite literally caught fire.
