I'm also still using a laptop from 2010:

https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/sony-vaio-z-series-vpc-z11z9e-b-13-1in-laptop

it has outlived one 'replacement' so far, and my 3.5 year old XPS 13
(9360 gen) recently stopped booting so unless I can fix that, it will
have outlived two...

it has no UEFI support either.
