If you usage is mostly spreadsheets and web apps the 5 year old i7 will be perfectly fine.
I'm currently on a Quad Core Q9650 desktop from only God knows how many years ago, and it works perfectly fine after upgrading to 16Gb RAM and an NVME SSD, with the latter being what a 5 year old i7 may be equipped with.
On a laptop battery life is your main concern and it is something you have to look into.
Some newer peripherals may be a bit of a problem, but if you are mostly on the go you'll be fine.
