for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn't do much.

I didn't say it was good in the absolute, but that i5 processor from 2013 was better than the Intel Celeron processor from 2018, I checked. Yeah, my previous laptop wasn't the best of 2018; neither I or anyone in my direct family knew a lot about computers then.
Yeh, I'm not much of a developper, but I did more than browse the web on my old these laptop. Mostly bunch of digital art, including comics. Made a website once, tho using a Hugo template. Some homework, which included some graphing and some math algorithms with stuff like Sci-lab. But tho a shitty laptop was the first computer I've had, I've also had a desktop for a few year, it's way faster and I do most of the "heavy" work on it, the laptop being for the rest when I'm not at home.
