Finally someone shows a REAL old laptop and not like the others who call a 2017 laptop "Ancient"

[MR_unreal_]

This is what my parents are watching when I want a new laptop or PC

[gbk_youtube]

Logic of the video:
You don't need new PC if you can use browser and play games from 2000

I just bought myself a pre owned office pc with Intel i5 6500 and 8 gigs of ram, the seller supplied a 256 gb of ssd (sata as 6th gen doesn't support nvme) and it had activated win 10 pro.
Although the tech is almost a decade old but its all usable.
All of this under 200$ (converted from inr).

I think its just the social media thing to follow the trend of following the latest and greatest.

As once said by "THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED." if your PC is built after 2012-2013 time it's gonna last a fairly long time provided you maintain it probably

[CrackDavidson]

More people should be saying this. 64-bit dual core cpu from any year, an ssd and 8 gb of memory your still good. Especially if running another OS like linux or BSD

My laptop is from 2012 it has a almost broken hdd with a huge chunk of dead pixels on monitor going to min 5million for repair. Yes im buying a new laptop, not fixing it.

[pixelcuber]

Yea say that to my pc with 2gb of ram, an intel Celeron and no gpu

[jorgerodriguez]

unless you do very technical productivity stuff, most software doesn't need too much resources or there are light alternatives.

The issue is the damn os, I would not use windows on a very old pc, most definitely using linux

[Iker_]

bro did NOT say u can run cs2, valorant and fortnite on a core 2 duo with integrated graphics and 3 gigs of ram 😭😭😭😭

[NathanielKraft]

Older laptops were built so much better, too... easier to take apart, swap out batteries.

[Justin-rg]

Watching this on my Acer Aspire 5552, running on windows 7. Got a pc for gaming and using this laptop just for browsing and School Works, still works.

[FengLengshun]

Yeah, my "new" laptop at work is a Dell Latitude 7480 running a 7th Gen i7. That thing worked surprisingly pretty well, prompting me to look into the world of refurbished Dell Latitude and ThinkPad laptops - there's a huge market for refurbished 6-8th Gen i5 and i7 Dell and ThinkPad surprisingly, and judging their performance I think they're a much better buy as secondary devices especially as it seems ThinkPad in particular runs very well under Linux with a huge community working on additional drivers and optimization for it.

Wow a 2008 computer is running games from the early 2000s and late 1990s, who would've thought. You definitely don't need a new pc. 😂

[StereoMadnessss]

A few months ago, I wanted a laptop. Now with the power of Linux, an 11 year old MacBook has become my primary computer for the time being (to work on a project).

[Frank-spvu]

I saw this video before and it made me wonder how good this old laptop that was sitting being unsed from around the same year was. I installed windows 10 and I was shocked at how it performed.

[lisa]

My 7 year old Notebook with Intel pentium, 4GB RAM, HDD with 64 GB, it is slow, weak battery and broken hinges. I definitely needed a new one, now my new one is the Nitro 5.

[zombiemincaftr]

I don't "need" it, I want it so that I don't have to deal with the slow loading times.

[vVearon]

a lot of these comments are talking about their old laptops from 2011/2012, this makes me really grateful for my laptop that i got brand new last year. its the most overpriced laptop you can posibly get, $1700 aud for 8gb ram, AMD Ryzen 5 7530u and no gpu, but it can run games like minecraft (with optimization mods) and valorant at 60 fps.

Edit: this is in aud, but even for that price i found a laptop with an rtx 4060 and 32gb ram. I also had to buy a laptop from the school, the options were a chromebook for $999 (even bigger scam), the laptop i got, and an m1 macbook air for $2500 (normally around $1200)
