And the beat goes on!
....
I unearthed my old HP 2760p laptop/tablet hybrid. i7-2640M @ 2.8GHz, 256GB SATA III SSD, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 720p display. Installed Batocera 43.1 on it and transferred the files from my handy dandy drive. I found it is faster to just keep the USB drive aside with all the files since I seem to be doing this a lot lately. As an aside - 43.1 will now merge the new files from USB to the internal drive automatically! Nice feature.
Runs up to PS1. Not bad at all for a 2nd Gen system. I know she won't do more but I have to say what it does run looks really nice on the 12" screen. To think a month ago I had this in the e-waste pile bound for the recycling. Even splurged an extra $25 for a brand new battery. I wish laptops still did the internal keyboard light. You can see it at the top of the bezel in the picture. It's such a cool little gadget.
Up next! Intel BOXNUC8i7HNKQC1 I got extremely cheap! $100 but I fixed it easily. I just have no plan on what to do with it yet... I couldn't resist that damn LED skull!
Then I have a GMKTec G5 (N97, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD) I am going to install INSIDE of my older X-Arcade Tankstick.
