If you have a good PC (not like mine: i5 2core@3GHz, 4GiB RAM - he can't run any 3ds app except mii maker), and you don't care about mobility, and you don't want default apps (mii maker, friends list, game notes, …) so you have the choice. else I think a real 3ds is the best.

yo you gotta get that ram UPPP. i have 32gb ram and an i3, genuinely unlocks ur cpus potential.. AND THE 3DS HAS MERE MBs OF RAM...?
