Personnel
gollark: I got a used laptop for £140, and put in £30 of upgrades (extra RAM and SSD) and it works great, even for light Minecrafting.
gollark: You could build a desktop which massively beats that for < £400 nowadays, and even a £300 laptop or something will probably destroy your ancient... thing.
gollark: That's old enough that they should probably let you make reasonable decisions about how you spend money.
gollark: You get maybe a 15% improvement every year or two if you're lucky now.
gollark: It's not like the good old days of Dennard scaling when performance doubled every 18 months or whatever.
