Anyway, if your goal is retro gaming, a Raspberry Pi is smaller and more energy-efficient for these types of tasks, but honestly, once you add in a case, a good power supply (RPi's are picky with respect to power...), and storage, it is probably at the same price or even more than this $130 machine. But if you are interested in more modern gaming or more powerful emulation, this system would be better and give you more flexibility for future upgrades.
Just saying buyers might want to read up.

Its definitely faster than a PI, the only real advantage or reason to buy a PI would be if you wanted to run any premade PI images. Otherwise if youre building it from scratch then might as well get the faster system
How do you figure out which barrel fits (diameter) and has the right watts, etc?

In particular, since the N150 and N100 are close to identical beside a few modest clock frequency bumps for the the N150, they probably have similar efficiencies. If anything, the N150 might have a slightly better efficiency give two years of potential process improvements. Given this, the heat they generate is probably directly proportional to the energy they consume and since they are spec'ced for the same TDP to dissipate heat, the are probably drawing about the same amount of electricity for any given task.
Because the N150 has a few modest speed bumps, it might have a slightly greater instantaneous electrical draw than the N100 for any given calculation or operation. But it would also finish that operation slightly more quickly. The N100, in turn, might use slightly less power than the N150 on an instantaneous basis, but it takes longer for any single operation. Thus, when integrated over time, the total cumulative electrical draw for either of the processors for any particular operation should be similar.
Not only that, but for basic web-browsing office work - totally fine.

But if you want to compare the n150 performance with the HP you currently have, we need to know what CPU is in the HP and if there is a separate GPU. Chances are, it's so old and small, that it doesn't have a separate GPU, so the n150 will likely perform better than it.

I think the GMKtec has a U620 graphics processor?
