My decade+ old desktop with Windows 10 still works surprisingly well. Only change from the initial build was the addition of an SSD for the OS.
Yes, I have better machines around the office (a dual-Xeon workstation, an AMD Ryzen 7 laptop etc.) but I still find the old workhorse quite sufficient.
@nrohluap I here ya I have had a couple Macs that made it 12 and 14 years. They still functioned fine but their processors couldn’t keep up with the updates.
@SethP23 It won’t run Windows 11 (no TPM) but other than that …. Photoshop, Handbrake for DVD compression and rendering, scanner for slides and negatives … it just keeps trucking along.
Honestly, 4 cores and 8 threads at over 3GHz isn’t that far off of “modern” processors. I think that’s part of Apple’s shift to their own silicon.
