I think I might take a page out of DIY Perks' book and turn my old Asus laptop into a desktop.

How well do dual cores hold up these days for light tasks (mostly office stuff, no gaming, maybe some occasional media consumption)?

    My 4500U laptop with the CPU locked at 25% max utilisation (in power management) handles 1080p playback, word, web browsing, excel ect. pretty well so...should be fine?

    It's a T3200, dual core 1.9GHz. It's pretty old compared to the 4500u

    Core 2 era!

     

    That might be good for handling H.264 1080p video at best, assuming the GPU on it has hardware acceleration support. But likely no VP8/VP9 support so YouTube will suffer.

    Not looking for major performance. Just the odd youtube video every now and then, nothing more

    I had a T7200 and that thing was pretty....slow. Should be fine for the occasional YouTube video though.

    Like I said. I only need it for pure office use. My NUC shat itself and I don't really want to be using my main rig when I'm studying
