Still using my 2018 ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 with an i7-8700H, GTX1080 Max-Q, and 16GB RAM. It was once the ASUS flagship; however, these days it’ll be massively outperformed by a cheap Acer with an RTX5050M.

Nevertheless, it pretty much runs anything up until 2022 perfectly and modern AAAs at medium/high settings 1080p30. I tend to use a controller so the lower frame rates don’t annoy me as much.

Enjoying games such as Space Marine 2, Anno Pax Romana, and Baldur’s Gate 3 at the moment.

I sadly failed to upgrade before the RAMpocalypse, so I am stuck with this thing for the meantime.

My 16.5 year old Alienware M11x, which I’ve owned since its launch in March 2010, features an Intel C2D SU7300 processor running at 1.73GHz and a GeForce 335M graphics card. Back when it was released, it was a complete mini powerhouse capable of playing games like Modern Warfare 2, Dishonoured, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, The Mass Effect Trilogy, Star Wars: The Old Republic and more.

This machine served as my daily driver from 2010 to 2015 and I managed to complete over 90 games on it. Despite extensive use, it still looks as good as new with no visible wear and tear on the entire chassis. I’ve taken great care of it from the start.

Currently, it runs on Windows 7 and is primarily used for internet browsing and video streaming via Firefox. It still streams video smoothly at 30fps on Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube.
