I had a third generation of yours - the Commodore Amiga.
Holy shot was that an amazing machine! It was ahead of its time in so many ways. I learned to do OOP on it, I created some cool pictures in Paint Shop Pro on it, and of course I used it to play a ton of fantastic games. And in a time before Windows took off, it offered Workbench - a really slick *nix based graphical OS.
I also used a 64 for a bit before I got my Amiga, and yes that was a superb machine too.
I guess neither the Amiga nor the Commodore 64 folded in two, so this new Ryzen-based machine has that over our two computers.
