    Cheaper hardware also exists, raspberry pi can run loads of games. Could even run old flash games on it.

      Pis (Pi’s? Pi-s?) are cool, but it seems like overkill in this case. A second-hand thinkpad should be accessible enough, both cost-wise and difficulty-wise.

        Yeah that also works. Still want to make a briefcase pi some day. Power everything by USB and stick a few powerbanks in there so it would run for days. It’s also easier to fix any broken part compared to a laptop. Made with some padding and it should be reasonably impact resistant too.
