I like how many people poo-poo this. There really is no reason you can’t use it shouldn’t use a 2012-2014 system in 2023. Even minor upgrades like an SSD are tremendously beneficial. And to the commenters going “try watching a 4K video hur hur!”… why? No one will argue that multimedia oriented stuff /doesn’t/ need, more often than not, beefier hardware. But let’s ignore the fact that most of the machines from this era that are laptops won’t have anything remotely approaching a 4K display. So it’s a moot point. My personal desktop is an i9-13900k and it’s awesome. My laptop is currently a 3rd gen i5 powered dell that works beautifully for everything I need or want on the go. Up till literally 2 years ago my daily driver laptop was a p 2-300 with 192mb of ram, 64gb ide ssd, and a 10” 800x600 lcd. You know why? Because it did everything I needed for a portable system and the rare instances I needed more I could RDP into a stronger rig. So, yeah, artificially limiting yourself on every rig to something old I don’t see the value of. But continuing to use, even as your primary portable, an older system is 100% fine. “But they can’t edit iPhone videos!” … smh
