Good Evening LTT forum. I have never made a post here but I think this may be worth it. Recently my father gave me his hand me down HP Elitebook 8730W at first I wasn’t as thrilled to get it because I already have a decent laptop but another would hurt right? As opening up the laptop I noticed it has a Nivida Quadro sticker on it as well as and Intel Extream Core 2 during the vista era. I know a little about modern tech but this predates me. I’m currently wiping all my fathers old files now. And just wanted to get y’all opinion on if this PC is still a powerhouse in this day in age? And how to test if it is?  Here are some photos too! The Quadro is a 3700FX 1gb from what I can tell

It would still work but that would be slow in applications today

It would probably be able to run esports titles (Rocket League, etc) OK but not too much more than that
