I'm more or less in that boat. I did by my laptop, a 2013 MacBook Pro, new, but 10 years later it's still fine for my purposes. For productivity purposes, the only real concessions to its age are that I did have to get the battery replaced about a year ago, and I do some light adblocking (no autoplaying videos or heavy scripting or anything like that, but I still let static ads through) to keep webpages usable. For light gaming I recently bought a refurbished 2019 desktop for $250. I mostly only play older games (because I'm cheap), so that was more about Apple dropping support for 32-bit apps than it is about the MacBook not being powerful enough, though I am admittedly happy about having a computer that can play KSP without everything turned down to the lowest quality level. Overall, happy there, too - it's hard for me to imagine that a new computer would provide enough utility to justify the added cost. The latest generation of this computer retails for four times as much money as I paid for the used one, but the specs are very, very similar.
