I have a Fujitsu Lifebook for this. The brand probably doesn't matter though. It's the standard issue Atom + 1GB RAM netbook. I like doing all my programming on it as well. If my code doesn't run well on it, it means I'm doing something wrong.

>IRIX in QEMU
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one. You can't emulate IRIX because the hardware is too specific and IRIX is tied too closely to it. The best you're going to get is half assed emulation of 5.3 with a lot of tinkering and you're limited to the 32-bit CPU found in the Indy which is somewhat closer to standard MIPS hardware that's supported in QEMU. Also emulation of MIPS on x86 is slow as fuck just like emulation of PowerPC. The closest you'll get is MaXX Interactive Desktop running on Fedora 25 if you want a user experience that isn't as slow and buggy as a drunken snail. Do you even SGI machines?
