I would also not recommend because of overall support

For example, does these support AVX? Newer software might require it, even if it works fine for 99% of the stuff you do elsewhere

If you want to get used stuff then get some 2/3 yr old laptop.

AVX is supported since 1st gen Xeon E3 (Sandy Bridge), launched Q2 '11.

That's interesting, because I've seen some software complaining on older machines, but it might have been about AVX2

I've never seen anything that actually requires AVX. SSE yes, but virtually all 64-bit x64 chips have SSE.

Star citicen needs avx...z600 sadface here
