Yep, still on an 8 year old laptop with no signs of slowing down.

What laptop is it, if you don't mind? Also, what kind of work are you doing on it (if any)?

It's an Acer Nitro VN7 with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM running Ubuntu 22. Workload is mostly vscode web development (Node.js), Gimp, OBS, VMware player for running macOS to test sites on various iOS simulators. Browsing and watching Netflix. Reasons to upgrade would be battery life and a brighter screen.
