Desktop with Intel G2010 [0], 20Gb RAM, 128GB SSD for OS, 500Gb WD Black 2.5". Originally built somewhere in 2008 with A64 X2 4200+[1] on EPOX nForce4, upgraded to SSD in 2012, upgraded to Intel ~2016. Still on Vista.
ASUS VivoBook TM420, Ryzen 3 4300U, 12GB RAM, 256GB NVMe. ~1 year old, current beast of burden.
Lenovo T440, i3-4010U [2], 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD. In my usage since 2016, model is from 2014.
Of course there is X301 somewhere, with 1.8" SSD (probably 128GB?) and unknown amount of memory. The only machine with working DVD-R drive.

On a new $200 PC? Doubt it. It would work, of course, but... It's probably on Celeron?

- sourcecodeplz 4y agoThe G's from Intel have always been a bang for the buck, esp. single core perf. I got an AMD now for that $200 (Athlon 3000G). I know 10 years is hard to believe, but I just use a text editor and the browser for my work. I do front-end mostly with a focus on CSS.
