> There are quite a lot of people now that just use a web browser on their desktop or laptop. For them, a 5 year old (or older?) CPU is good enough that they don't know they are missing anything. Especially if they have enough memory and an SSD. My 2015 laptop is still more than capable of doing .net development, or I should say, was when I last tried in 2019. At work I've got a 2015 macbook pro and it's also more than enough for devops (namely, terraform, docker and the odd script in bash or python) I should add that neither feel sluggish though no doubt new kit would be faster
