Performance will be significantly better. Power consumption will be way way way better. Integrated graphics (Intel) will be extremely better than 2019. Just check the benchmarks. Your drivers will still be supported for years by all vendors (even on Linux that matters somewhat: although everything is always supported, vendors tend to put most of their resources on the newer stuff).
Also, you'll have USB-C ports, the newer hard drive standards, memory, latest wifi protocols (I don't know if there is one, to be honest), etc etc.
- diffeomorphism 2y agoYou are off by a couple of years. My seven year old laptop (8th gen Intel) has usb c/thunderbolt ports, more than fast enough nvme ssds, which are easily upgradable, wifi card upgradable (except for whitelist nonsense), a 500nits, 2560xsomething IPS screen. Performance of my new laptop (amd 7840hs) is better, yes, but it is much, much less significant than you would think. If not for hardware issues, I would not feel any pressure to "upgrade".
