"2.5 year old laptop" is potentially the most useless way of describing a 64GB M2, as it could be confused with virtually any other configuration of laptop.

I think the point is just that it doesn't require absolute cutting edge nor server hardware.

It was also something he already had lying around. Did not need to buy something new to get new functionality.
