I have an even older desktop core i7 system upgraded with an SSD after the 2nd hard disk died. For many of my needs it is only a bit slower than current core i5 laptops. For me, the display quality and convenience of laptops made in the last 2-3 years means the desktop is no longer used regularly. A laptop can be used to view repair manuals next to a broken whotsit, recipes in the kitchen, etc. so If you live in an area with frequent power outages, laptops don't require a UPS. Recent Intel integrated graphics is good enough that many users won't miss an older desktop graphics card. Linux users can benefit from the abundance of 2--4 year old laptops that don't support Windows 11. Businesses are replacing them with newer Intel/AMD models or even Apple systems using the new Apple silicon. -- George N. White III
