That means a budget box from 3-5 years ago is quite possibly a low end potato that will have trouble as the bells and whistles are turned on.    The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n94E3IeBquY" target="_blank">surface table d&d techdemo </a>might have been one of the most impressive VTTs to date, but you've got to put that into perspective with the fact that a surface table had a price tag that wasn't too far from a (new?) car at the time.You don't need a computer with a 3 digit price tag though, a family member of mine recently picked up a pretty decent refurbished laptop off newegg for like 200-300$ that is more than capable of running most every vtt other than maybe wotc's top end alienware vtt.</blockquote>
