> VS2017 runs great on my old laptop with Core-i3 CPU from 2016. For the last 1 or probably 2 years now I've been using VS2019 quite successfully on a 10 year old laptop with an i7-3520M (+ 16gb RAM & SSD). Yes, its way heavier and clunkier than something like Eclipse for example and I do whinge a lot about how it loves to chew a lot of CPU and get a bit laggy when I'm typing code (why does Roslyn need 50%++ while I'm typing a comment? Is it really that interesting?) But it is still useable nonetheless. The main issue I have with it is that touchpad scrolling in the code window really sucks and VS is really buggy in general needing restarts several times a day or things start getting 'weird'.
