All I have is a 13 year old laptop, and I use it basically all day most days. It’s plays music and movies etc with no issues. Cloud pc for gaming, which also works perfectly. It really doesn’t like youtube, though, and it sounds like a jet engine every time system and app updates start to download. Can’t afford to get anything better anyway. A friend gave it to me after it died on him and he got a new one, wasn’t hard to fix. I cried when I got it because it improved my life a lot, just being able to do basic things.
Have a hug!
Thank you, I needed that!

Have you tried blowing out the fan? After 13 years it might be all gunked up
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Of course, God bless his kind soul, may the eternal peace lay on his lands
Rumor has it he isn’t actually a kind soul, just a nerd with a dream.
Verbally slaying the sinner is a form of kindness. Letting people break user space willy-nilly is not kind
I use a 12 year old laptop as my daily driver, and use it to do high res video editing. A decade old computer these days is still highly capable.
Everybody with a Thinkpad
My 12 year old thinkpad is still my daily driver.
Speakers stopped working 5 years ago tho. Only BT audio out, now.
