I need to build a tiny rig. One that if I wanna go to my friends house and laugh as I play PC and he plays PS4. Preferrably if at all possible one I could fit in a laptop bag.

This is the closest possible I can get, I assume you need wifi.

The best thing to do is to possibly by a Gigabyte Brix Barebone PC... That is tiny... TBH, you can't build a half decent PC for under $400 AND make it that small...

Not a great option, a PC can be had for the same price with far better perf and a GPU.
