      Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.

      I don’t game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.

      Do you mean 4th gen core i? If that’s the case, I only recently upgraded from it as well. If you actually mean 4th gen Intel…how’s that 286 doing for you?

          I have a T430 that still sees use as an occasional web browsing & Arduino coding machine. I bought it used in 2016 without HDD for $150, and I don’t think I’ve gotten better value for money with any of my other computer purchases to-date.
