    That’s like 20 years old… An i7 is more accurate to the comic about a 10-year old laptop.

      Yes, but requirements for a general use computer have barely changed in the past 10 years. Well, the only thing changing them is Windows 11.

      I’ve used a 2007 mid-range (?) laptop up until it broke in early 2023. Core 2 Duo T7100 (later upgraded to T7500 bought on AliExpress for €1), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, cheap 128GB SATA SSD (also from AliExpress). Perfectly usable with Linux Mint. For fun I put Windows 11 on it with Superfetch and BITS services disabled. Perfectly usable with that as well. The only game I tried on it was Asphalt 8 though, but it ran smoothly.

      I want to get something like that again, but with support for more RAM. 4GB was the maximum.
