Yes - does depend on what you do. Having a son who does a lot of rendering and movie making then I feel that a faster CPU would be a benefit but for browsing, Word and gaming (not an obsessed gamer) then a faster CPU will make no obvious difference.

I doubled the ram from 8gb to 16gb and I think it helps a bit with the movie/rendering stuff but again, no difference day to day.

In fact I am typing this on an i7 laptop from about 8 years ago that still works perfect well for all day to day tasks (and runs WinUAE very well for programming). Even managed to get it to run Fall Guys last summer (lowest settings to be fair).

Long gone are the days of having to get the fatest, bestest stuff...apart from a V1200 which really flies!
