Bonus points if the demo has a benchmark! Today I tested out the FFXI Vanadiel benchmark, ARMA 2, and Lost Planet. The game that ran the worst out of the trio was ARMA, forcing me to play it at low-normal graphics presets.

Thanks!

Emulate console games. PS2/Xbox/Gamecube should run pretty well. Wii has pretty similar specs to Gamecube but required a motion controller. I'm not sure about PS3/X360. Any usb controller should work with an emulator.

I do plan on running some emulation tests eventually, the only problem with this laptop is it's got 1 usb 2.0, 1 3.0 and type c ports, and my xbox pad is usb and those two slots are being occupied by a kb and mouse.

USB can be split with a USB hub. Or universal laptop docking stations use the USB C port. Or there is a t480s specific laptop dock. USB 3.0 hub is $10. USB-c dock is $20-$50.

Thanks, yeah I was thinking about a usb hub

If you can swing it, even a cheap USB C dock (with HDMI) will be worth it over a hub, since you could just plug into a TV for a second/primary monitor and sit back with a controller too.
