They do. Your current machine is outperformed by a $109 chromebook...

The one from Lenovo that I linked for you will run rings around the one you have. And it costs less than ONE TIRE for most BMW's.

The machine you bought lasted 7 years because it fit in a very specific niche at the time you bought it. A new one will need to be in the same niche rather than below it. Your price range puts it well below the same niche your machine was at when it was purchased. But, it's your money.
