I believe the ones made by Behar Bros are usually the recommended ones. They have a few different models, each with different features (like a couple have a scanline generator built-in and/or SCART output), so it's up to you to decide exactly what works best for your setup.
Just as a disclaimer, I don't actually have any of their products, but it's definitely what I would buy if I weren't being cheap and just using the low quality cable that I already have.
Thank you for the correction. I try to be as accurate as possible when providing information, but I misremembered the specs.
I have a Thinkpad T480 and I'm very happy with it. I paid about $250 (~£190) for mine. It came with 16 GB RAM, but is upgradable to 32 GB. The one I bought came with a 128 GB SSD, but I swapped it out for a 1 TB drive which added another $100 (~£76) to my initial investment. This model originally came with Windows 10 and most on the market will come with it, but can be updated to 11 if desired.
I personally have not used Win11 since they made some changes I don't like, so I can't really give you advice on that aspect.
Yo dawg, I heard you like emulating, so I put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulate while you emulate.
More or less. I think there are some differences between the Q and K based models, but they're close enough to not require separate ports of Rockbox.
You should look into Rockbox. It's an open source alternative firmware for a variety of portable media players that adds features such as support for more file formats (and it runs Doom). As for which supported players I'd recommend then maybe a flash modded iPod or an AIGO Eros Q or K (also sold as the HIFI WALKER H2, Surfans F20, or AGPTek H3).
If you listen closely to the buzzing it makes you can hear the Game Boy begging for the sweet release of death.
In all seriousness though, I'm more than happy with the available "off-the-shelf" Game Boy mods. Not to mention that things like this are way beyond my skill level.
If you mean like older Megami Tensei games or Etrian Odyssey, then I can handle those. If you mean something more like Skyrim, then that's a no.
RPGs all the way for me. Nearly all first-person games make me incredibly nauseous. I'm highly prone to motion and simulator sickness.
I don't remember exactly what lead up to it, but I ended up watching reruns of Voyager with my dad every day back when Spike TV was still a thing. I think that really improved my relationship with him.
