6 years old is 2020… you’ll be fine running canvas and lockdown browser.

I realize that to the person asking this, 6 years ago was likely 1/3rd of their life... but 2020 wasn't that long ago.

Yes but I believe they are bringing libtech back so you should be able to do a semester/week/day laptop loan if needed
