There’s a lot of old field laptops in my workspace using dual core intel 3rd Gen to 7th Gen that are fine. Wouldn’t describe them as great but they don’t have any problems. I also personally use a surface book for casual use with a skylake dual core i5, and it’s starting to get a little slow, but not awful yet. I wouldn’t go buy a new one today though. But if you already have one, I wouldn’t throw it out.
