@arrjay Yeah I imagine it is totally fine, the xeons were beasts.
I still use my Ivy Bridge i5 laptop. The HDD died so it got an SSD, but it got no other upgrades and it is _almost_ enough for everything I do. It probably will fall apart before it stops being useful.
My dad still keeps occasionally using his first-gen i3 laptop (instead of his brand-new, fancier Win11 laptop), just because it has Windows 7 (last decent Windows version).
