Not anymore, not really so. A desktop I own from 2008 is still usable for daily browsing after an SSD upgrade, and runs all the games I care about playing (given that I play rarely).
- majewsky 8y agoAgreed. I just purchased a new notebook, and it was really odd to switch to a new machine that's not phenomenally better than the old one in multiple ways. When I switched from a 2008 Dell Inspiron to a 2012 Asus Zenbook, it was a huge upgrade: dim 720p -> bright 1080p, HDD -> SSD, much more compact, much lighter. My new notebook is basically the same than the old one, except with newer components all around and better upgradability. (The soldered-in 4 GB RAM was the only real issue with the Zenbook.)
