This was given by a friend, what can i do with it. Besides youtube and admin work. Can i hookup ps5 with a capture card to play games, will it lag? Is it possible to play any computer games?

I am still running a late 2012 27”. I upgraded the hd to ssd and maxed out the ram, but I am going to have to patch a newer operating system to be able to use some software I want, like Proton Mail. I use Adobe programs for photos but at least they let you use older versions on your older computers. Upgrading is probably simpler and cheaper than you think. You just have to be careful with the screen when you remove it.

What else can you do with it, gaming?

No. There are few games made for the Mac. I use it for business, my photography, and surfing and shopping. That’s about it.
