If you have an old laptop or PC or mini pc or anything do not throw it out, it can be turned into a whole bunch of useful things. You can make a home server out of it, a retro game station, you can make a self hosted movie machine out of it and so much more. I can speak from my recent experience setting up a crappy laptop to be a retro game machine, it's quite shocking how much it can actually handle. If your computer isn't fried it can still be useful is my point here. Throwing it out is just wasteful honestly.

still looking for a use for my old samsung tablet 🤔
I'm not sure on that one, alot of the handheld devices like tablets and phones are designed to actually breakdown and not really have other uses, but maybe you can flash another OS on it or a Custom ROM or something to make it more useful.
What is the setup for the game station?
I installed Batocera on my old laptop then from there it's get getting your games (roms) putting them in the correct folder and good to go.
Assuming the device as Bluetooth, you can connect wireless controllers to it and everything works
