I’m still running a 1950x in my desktop. It works fine for most stuff, but the gaming performance is a bit low now with all of the spectre mitigations. I was planning on upgrading, but that will have to wait a few more years now.
I ran my previous laptop from 2012 until it died last year. I used it as my electronics workbench PC for several years because the battery wouldn’t hold a charge, but it still worked fine for running KiCAD and programming microcontrollers. I replaced it with a used Thinkcentre that I got dirt cheap on ebay just before the RAM prices went crazy.
