yeah, its nice. its the model 4337, so 6x usb2, audio in/out, gigabit, VGA, DP, and DVI-D. Not the one with 5 screen outputs. I only have iGPU so it doesnt really matter anyways.

I like this thread idea, OP.
Using a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop here, from around 2009. Core2Duo 2,1Ghz, 4GB RAM, running Fedora 23 with GNOME. Works like a charm.
Phone is a Nexus 5, which I don't consider old yet, but when people update their phones every year or so >2 years is probably quite old.
My Nexus 7 2013 still works fine as well. Those 2 Nexi are the best technical devices I've ever owned.

Currently using an iPhone 6s, no reason to upgrade yet although the SE frame is objectively better other than screen size. Might need to upgrade when the 7 come out depending on what it brings. Also my w520 is still going strong. I wouldn't mind upgrading at some point for better hardware and maybe smaller formfactor, but not as big of a fan of the newer Thinkpad keyboard and they're rather expensive considering I don't need a new one.

All of my cameras are outdated and still take great photos: Nikon D700 is like 3 generations old (it uses fucking CF memory cards), Ricoh GR has been replaced with a GRII, my film cameras are obviously all obsolete especially my Leica M3 which is now 62 years old.

Various mechanical and quartz watches, some of them decades old.

I think pretty much the only hot new tech I have is a Dell XPS13 and some of the more recently upgraded parts of my PC like the SSD and the IPS 1440p monitor.

Actually no, I upgraded from a hd5870 to the gtx 680.

Got the i7+mobo around 3 years ago, got the gtx 680 last year.

My Phenom 1090t build is still rocking pretty hard. Windows 10 is slower than most modern builds, but part of that is the HDD. Otherwise it's blazing fast on Linux. Even my complaint about Windows 10 isn't so bad.

My HD 6950 plays most modern games at medium-high, 1080p 60fps. Happy there. Only game giving me problems is Fallout 4 but that's due to poor optimization. Anything from 2011 down can be maxed out and hey, most of the games I love are either older or graphically less intensive.

Compiles code decently fast and it's difficult for me to max out my 8GB DDR3. To be fair, if I have enough Vboxes open, it does hang.

Mobo is a ASUS 990FX - it's alright but cries about boot order and stuff sometimes.

My case (HAF X) has taken a beating and still works fine. The important fans are still spinning. Need to replace a couple.

I have Toshiba C655D. Added an extra GB of RAM and stuck Ubuntu 16.04 on it. Works fantastically but the battery is a little shot from the previous owner.

The graphics are a bit newer since my old card (5850) died just after warranty expired, everything else is as I bought it in 2010.

Will probably upgrade once Canadian prices recover, but I am in no real rush.

Of course not. I am not looking for "muh 60FPS, 4K, Ultra" settings. I am fine with 720p at 30FPS. The current HD 4000 can play games from the same year at low-med settings so I suppose an HD 5000 or HD5500 can play modern games at those settings too.

i think an older PPC Mac is the next on my 'Get' List. I got to add this to my IBM collection last week thanks to my girlfriend's dad - gave it to me along with two 16:10 19" LCD VGA monitors after Easter Sunday dinner. Im gonna see how many vintage games i can run on here, and use DOSBox to run Tandy1000 games on it as well.
