Question I have an unusual laptop and it might be almost obsolete. Is it acceptable to keep using?

Please read my signature to know what my laptop's name and specs.

I have a South Korean laptop that has Nvidia GTX 1060 and an 8th-gen Core i7 CPU, which is pretty potent, in my opinion. But newer games need more demanding hardware, and I care less about gaming as time passes- I'm losing interest. I occasionally play old games (except Genshin Impact, Ace Combat 7, etc.), but that's about it. However, I prefer to keep this laptop and use it for something else- for instance, video editing and photoshop. Besides, this laptop can run Windows 11- it isn't obsolete. It's pretty reliable, and I love it.

However, I wonder when it might be obsolete and change PCs. I received this PC during 2020- it's not that old.

(And of course, I know full well that can't upgrade this laptop, so don't jump to conclusions. )

When it can't do, what you want from it.
If it still can do everything and performance is satisfactory for you, then keep using it.

Well, I'll get a new computer when this goes obsolete, probably another gaming laptop for light gaming.

But until then, I'll keep it. 😎
