Which goes back to my original post,

> Not everyone has Google level budgets for hardware.

Given that my current one runs Windows 10 64bit Pro, Visual Studio 2019, OpenJDK 14, clang 10 and Eclipse 2020‑03 just fine, I am not upgrading a perfectly working computer just to make Android emulator, or are you offering to get me one?

Specially since it was a Google's decision to drop support for its capabilities around Android 7 emulator release.

And your point is obviously ridiculously untrue. You're complaining about poor performance (not that it doesn't work, mind you, just that it's slow), while also refusing to upgrade to a system from the last decade.

You can get a system that will run the emulator with great performance for less than $50 on Ebay. There's no possible way to describe or classify this as requiring "Google level budgets for hardware." If you can't afford to upgrade that sucks, but you also can't at all make a reasonable complaint about performance when insisting on using a 10+ year old system.
