My 7 year old laptop has 8gb ram with a Intel Core i7-3630QM processor with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000. It’s maximum output via HDMI is 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz. Even low end sub £100 smartphones have 720p – 1080p screens at minimum. Has technology really moved on that much?

Short amswer is yes technologically we are in a sprint where every new device has not only better parts but better software to use those parts more efficiently, your computer probably needs better software and possibly a better graphics card. I got a bramd new gaming/recording laptop 6 months ago and theres already new parts that blow my computer out of the water for the same proce range. The tech moves very fast, faster than it ever has.
