Depends on your need. In general I would say if it has 16G memory then yes. Or can be upgraded to 16G. Likewise on the video card, depends on how Graphic intense. But some, not many, laptops you can change the video card. So a i7 cpu that is 5 yo should be ok. It is the other things, and like dotnet00 said, battery life is likely an issue. In the old days it was easy to replace the battery, I used to keep a charged spare on me when traveling.
