Yeah I've felt that way for a long time. It's done all that I need and more since about 2003.
Beans is our only adorable dumbo ear of the four boys, but out of the blue he started attacking his brothers, especially his almost twin (sans ears) Frank. When there's blood, we separate of course.
Interestingly, after introducing the new bedding they have calmed down, or maybe it was just a temporary issue. Glad to have our boys all back on one cage!
I was looking for a smaller (14" and not bulky) gaming Laptop, and ended up with the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X. And I'm very happy with it; feels fairly future proof with 32GB of Ram and runs NixOS like a champ.
Only has a GTX 3050 though, so it's not for the highest end gaming, but that's never been my priority anyway, it runs BG3 quite well and that's the beefiest thing I've thrown at it.
As mentioned, Minisforum and Beelink make great APU-based Ryzen systems which are going to give a great bang-for-buck. Get them from Amazon vs their dedicated website as some folks have had shipping delqys with the OEM website. ETA Prime does great reviews on YouTube of these boxes and shows what the FPS is like on some current, a few years old, and retro games for each one.
If you want the smallest possible system, with room for one the smaller form factor discrete graphics cards I'd say the NUC 9 Extreme works very well. I have a GTX 1650 in it and it is perfectly fine.
Steam Deck with a usb c dock is also a great option.
Feels like it does 0 to the body though. What range do you use it at? Using mozam up close is so fun by comparison.
Just sticking a welcome post in since I see a forum for my favorite pet type.
Have owned 6 of these wonderful little critters, currently in discussions with a breeder in Metro West Boston to bring some new boys home soon.
Have a wonderful day!
