The good thing about the new limits of computers is that the raw speed doesn't increase as much, they usually increase the number of cores and other optimizations and you have an impressive graphics card (well, I think, don't know anything about graphics cards anymore hahahaha)
I'm definitely going to get a dedicated graphics card as the builtin I have is really subpar.
I'm sure you can squeeze 8 years out of yours too! See you in 2023 :D
8 years is a lot, breaks down to a mix of luck + care, congratz 😁
I have an ASUS that I bought in 2015
Intel i7-4720HQ 2.6 GHz, 12GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD, Nvidia GTX 960m (helps a lot with any heavy apps)
5 years old, and it's still like new... can't be happier!
Seems like a solid computer you have!

Do you have a thunderbolt? Have you considered an eGPU?
Heck yeah 🤟
Yeah, one Thunderbolt port up to 10 Gbps (at least according to Mactracker).
Any ideas?
Perfect... what kind of heavy stuff you plan on doing? design work like Photoshop? rendering? ML or so?
Ah ah a generic one? I do use Photoshop but I don't do 3D stuff :D
A generic one would be a gaming one that runs most games, and of course an AMD card since Nvidia is not supported from Apple in general.
This is a general idea about what's gonna be like: support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208544
I'll hop in to the DM to talk about the rest 😁
