OP here. My office is populated pretty much exclusively with older HP gear. Some resellers offer 2 year warranties making them extremely attractive compared to buying something new. Mostly I reformat the drives and install Debian on them, which is always an instant 30% speed increase for development work. Can't say I have done a lot of gaming on them. The laptop from the article does have Wolfenstein "The New Order" from 2014 on it that I did for an experiment, and it's surprisingly snappy. As development machines though, just unbeatable.
