> replace my 2014 MacBook Pro. It was, and is, a great machine. If not for its woefully aged processor and now-insufficient memory, I’d happily keep using it.

I don't share your experience. My Lenovo ThinkPad X220 bought in year 2012 with an Intel i5-2450M CPU and 16 GiB RAM is still usable. In particular, it runs Firefox on Windows 7 just fine, and I get acceptable performance on websites like Reddit and Twitter.
