10 years old would be 7th Gen Intel which is perfectly capable.
For anyone else budget conscious: you can get excellent laptops by looking for an 8th gen Intel laptops in pristine condition on eBay for <£150. This will be perfect for daily use, web, office, etc. If you need gaming then get a used Steam Deck OLED. This is suitable computing for a huge number of people’s usecase.
Older thinkpads are still a great deal too. Just have to stick to the actual business ones and not the consumer ones.
If you are in the USA and are on public assistance, then https://pcsrefurbished.com/sales/salesHome is a great place, especially for laptops. My last laptop from here is a HP Zbook 15 Fury G8 with a Nvidia RTX A2000 for $175.
