    That's what I'm doing with mine: 3D and video. I bought a ton of software (Imagine, Deluxe Video + Paint + Music, etc.) and/or manuals where the software was freely available (Animation Station, Turbo Silver, Real 3D, etc.). I would love a real Amiga but I don't have the space. First up I am learning World Construction Set so I can design my cartoon planet (that will end up in DS and Poser too).

    Amiga! I loved my Amiga systems back when I was living in Florida.  I had a couple of Amiga 500s and a 2000 with the NewTek VIdeoToaster.  Such powerful systems for their time.  Had a bunch of 2D and 3D software on them.  And some music software.  The VideoToaster and Lightwave 3D were awesome.  I had the 2000 until a few years ago after it had been stored in the attic for 15 or so years.  It went to recycle heaven.

    It's free and easy to get out of S Mode (and was the first thing I did). This one has a DDR4 SODIMM slot in addition to the 4GB soldered on. It takes up to a 32GB stick according to online reports, but it's still just a dual-core chip (even with 4 threads), so I'll probably just stick an 8GB stick and upgrade the SSD to 500GB. I bought a 1TB 2.5" HDD to go in the SATA bay, for 3D and video render storage. Even with 4GB it runs everything I've tried so far, but I want to upgrade it before I do much more outside of Amiga emulation..

    ...the major downside of that notebook is Windows 10S which requires you to add software sold only in the Windows store and having to use the Edge Browser.  4GB is pretty minimal (the 2 core/4 thread Comet Lake Pentium Gold 6405U can actually support up to 64 GB).In looking at its specs at another store, I discovered this particular IdeaPad 3 model has its RAM is soldered, in hence the 4 GB maximum, so no upgrading.  The last 149$ one at Walmart just sold in the time it took me to look into this mre and now it shows a 309.89$ price.  Definitely wouldn't pay that much for such a limited system.
