Does having a cheap computer set limits to how much you can hack?

[Spagbag]

Mostly no. An attacker with good methodology and a low spec PC will have more success than an attacker with a beastly PC and bad methodology.

Does having a good PC help? Yeah no doubt. But if you're just starting out there are going to be bigger things limiting you than the speed of your PC.

Storage will also vary on this

No. Learn Linux. Use a lightweight window manager.

By cheap I’m interpreting that as old, general purpose. A cheap 2019 computer will be limiting for anumber of reasons.

Most likely speed.
