You’ll probably be fine!
As an axis of comparison, I work on a really snappy and fast 5800X3D desktop with a couple of 180Hz monitors. My laptop is a 15" Macbook Pro i7 from 2018. Comparatively, the most sluggish-feeling part of the laptop is the 60Hz display. Everything else feels fine. Comparable. Laptop-y.
The differences between laptops now and 5 years ago are subtle – finer photolithography processes mean lower power draw which means longer battery life and/or faster charging. Screens are sharper, more responsive, have better color. Little things that make a difference to some and not to others.
Generally speaking, as long as it has a NVMe SSD, it’s modern? maybe?
- castlecrasher2 2y agoI had a 2019 MacBook Pro until last year when my work issued me an M2. It's noticeably snappier and its battery life is far better than the 2019's was.
- AnthonBerg 2y agoI don’t disagree! I’d much prefer an M-something mac! Posed as a question of workability, the Intel macs are still on the table imo / ime.
