Since gog.com has mainly older games in the his repertoire, I've been wondering on which hardware most users play here. A Powerful gaming pc or maybe just a laptop with onboard-graphics? Do you gear up for current games or do you stay with the classics?

For all germans: I've opened the topic in the german section too.
I'm sure that there are some that use all of the above.. in which ratio I have no idea and maybe that's what you were hoping to find out. So I'll just add my number to the mostly powerful gaming hardware. I very very much love the old games, and very very much love some/many of the newer ones. Fallout 4 I believe has now moved itself to the top of my ALL TIME FAVORITE GAME OF ANY GENRE OF ANY SYSTEM (PC, console, etc.). It's an amazing game IMO, but not one that can be played with an old laptop running on board graphics.

Depends on who's house I break into. Not everyone has the same rig.
to be rather honest, i play games on whatever i can get, i also play games my laptop can run or at least try to run... so yeah for me its a matter of whatever i can get my hands on
Saving up to buy a new system to replace my current potato/toaster.
An AMD FX-8320, 16GB of RAM, and a Radeon 270X on the high end, to an Intel Atom N450 with its built-in GPU and 1GB of RAM on the low end.

Actually, that's not quite true. I do have a Power Macintosh G4 plugged in and ready to go whenever I feel like playing Escape Velocity or Harry the Handsome. The Atom netbook doesn't get much gaming, come to think of it. I also need to get the 486 and portable 386 up and running so I can game on those.

How about these specs:
QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+
128MB RAM
Red Hat, Inc Device 1100 (Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA)
i7-6700
24GB RAM
256GB NVMe SSD
1TB 7200 RPM HDD
GTX 1070

17" Laptop
Just upgraded. GTX 1060, AMD Ryzen 1600, 16GB of RAM, 500GB Solid State.

I usually go for mid-tier machines and upgrade more often, rather than spending thousands. You can almost always run stuff at max for a few years and then on medium for a while after that with a mid-range rig.
Phenom II X4 B35
HD 5770
4 GB (2x2) DDR3 1333
500GB HDD

Running this since 2010. and it served me pretty well. Will finally upgrade by the end of the year.
