gollark: My existing laptop, a several-year-outdated refurbished business one I put an SSD and extra RAM into, works nicely.
gollark: Probably, but I have no use for a really ancient laptop which could maybe run slightly less poorly.
gollark: It's unusable at this point because the thermal paste has never been replaced, it has the old 500GB HDD it shipped with, and it runs Windows 10.
gollark: I have an ancient laptop around with a Core 2 Duo and... 210M or something?
gollark: I actually have a GT 710 around, since I needed a card which could do basic video output but didn't care very much about any actual gaming.
