Looking for a VERY specific laptop, hoping you guys can help.

Hi guys,



Looking for a computer to run an old game from 1999 on it.

My requirements are either an 11 - 13" screen, run Windows, it needs to be able to be charged over USB-C, and it needs to cost about $300 or less.

I don't mind getting something a generation or two older, or if I can snag it used at that price.



Thanks!

What is the game, or what are its requirements? Does it work in Windows 10, or do you need something older like Windows 98 or XP?

Depending on the situation, it might be easier to get it running in a VM rather than finding a computer that will work.

I've been able to run older Windows software on my Asus Vivobook L203MA. Even to the point of loading virtualbox on it and creating VMs for Windows XP and running vintage software in the VM.

Walmart sells a Gateway 11.6" notebook $149 USD with the identical specs of the Vivobook...

edit: nevermind. I forgot about the requirement about charging via USB-C.

I am interested to know the game also (just being nosy.....?)
I have masses of old games from the 90's which where on PC (I seem to recall they where on Win 3.1) and also on my Atari ST (which I wish I hadn't sold), I would love to revisit them....
