If you have to ask, it's not for you. It's for retro PC enthusiasts

I can see people wanting to use retro software, but what surprises me is this being preferable to modern hardware running old software in emulation.

Especially a laptop, because I doubt that power management is that amazing on DOS.

Maybe there is something out there for which this addresses compatibility problems, but...

I know, you make valid good points, but people who are interested in purchasing this want to run the software on bare metal.
