Quite a few older PC/Laptops – SSD’s make them so much more usable.
I’ve got an old ‘mini’ pc in the garage for music, it’s got nothing on it, but because it has a normal HD it takes minutes to boot up (OK less than 120 seconds).
Main laptop is 5 years old – I7 4 series with an Nvidia GTX740m, 16gb ram, 1gb SSD, 1GB HD, OK for games still (although not at the res my son likes) but it’s fine when away from home. It still runs lightning fast, but games are starting to out run it.
Main PC is a refurbed Lenovo workstation, 8gb, but it has a Zeon Server processor, and a Quadro graphics card – it’s possibly about 7 years old, but we got it for a song a couple of years ago – swapped in an SSD, and the thing is fab for general office work, and internet – blisteringly fast (price new on these was £1500) – more than fine for general work – two screens.
Son has a gaming PC – about 4 years old but I7 4790k, GTX 970, 16gb, 3 large monitors -runs everything in HD, but he is complaining of slight ‘stutter’ in some brand new games now. He has to fund any upgrades if he wants, as he ploughed a lot of money into it at the time. He is into racing sims, so 3 screens look ace with the G29 steering wheel too. All I can hear now is the rumble of the force feedback and swearing as the race doesn’t go too well (he’s now 18).
1 x 6 year old HP Pavilion (upgraded SSD) which my daughter uses all the time for ‘League of Legends’ – still does the job, although the battery is knackered.
2 x I5 4 series ex office PC’s – 1 as a media pc for the telly, and 1 in my ‘arcade cabinet’. Both have SSD’s.
SSD’s have made a huge difference, and , unless you game, then there is getting less reasons to upgrade.
