I use a 12 year old laptop as my daily driver, and use it to do high res video editing. A decade old computer these days is still highly capable.

Up until about a year ago my main gaming rig was a laptop from 2012. Toward the end I had to turn settings down (sometimes WAY down) but it still performed like a champ.

Last year I still used to use a 16 year old laptop. It could even run Windows 11 just fine. I only tried Asphalt 9 and 8 on it as I don't play games, but it ran well.

I still miss that laptop. I really wish it still worked.
What happened: I finally wanted to learn using 4NEC2. It doesn't want to run on my new laptop, neither in VM nor WINE. But suddenly, the laptop kept shutting down randomly. Probably issue with the aftermarket battery. It still showed 80% of charge. At one point I said "That's it. You shut down one more time, I am done and plugging you in." (The adapter wasn't with me, so I used it on battery.) It shut down.
I then plugged in the adapter, but it never turned on again. R.I.P.

Asphalt 9 is from 2018. And it's a mobile game ported to Windows.
