I can relate though!
I routinely make little doodads do things that could be done with a dedicated chinese widget at a fraction of the cost, but part of the fun and satisfaction is in the making - you can't buy that sort of gratification, but you can end up paying a little more for it.

I have a nasty beastie of a laptop. 13th gen i9 HX, with a 4090m GPU. 32GB main DDR5 RAM, 16GB of DDR6 GPU RAM
I haven't opened it in over a month, other than the other day when I was reminded to renew the warranty or lose it. (I renewed, added accidental damage protection)
It's primarily to game at my sister's house when I visit, and for that it works great, but I thought it would serve a side use at my desk, and it just has never really lived up except when I want to play Fallout 4 on the side. (240Hz screen makes it my preferred games masheen)
One of the reasons I got the GPU I did was to play around with AI tech, but also I've never really found much use.
It's useful enough that I don't want to sell it, but I'm not using enough to feel like I'm getting what I paid for by a long shot.
I don't know a lot about AI, and I'm kind of averse to LLMs for coding, but I have a feeling that's just me being crotchety. I know LLMs get code wrong a lot, but it's not like I can't verify what it produces.
Most of the time though, when I think it could help, I have a hard enough time asking a human my problem, much less a machine.
Questions like this seem like they'd take over an hour of prompting to get anything usable back out, but maybe I'm being unrealistic. After all, I know so little about this stuff.

Anyway my point is that I'm amenable to using this machine for AI endeavors but I'm not sure where to begin in terms of having something useful at hand.

Not really. I was thinking of something more personally utilitarian.

ugh, why did you say that?
WoT and I go way, way back, but I had to quit to keep me from destroying hardware. But, the witch's laptop should do just fine.

I got sorta the same issue, just not as extreme.
I bought a new cpu many months ago and I rarely use it. It is way faster than my current system, which sometimes takes > 3 minutes to go from debug to IIS Express loaded and ready. The new system is < 10 seconds.
The main issue is that the new system is Win11. I don't hate it, but I'm more comfortable with 10.
The other main issue is the noise factor. Old system is whisper quiet...new system is mostly quiet with the occasional jet engine spin-up!  ...just enough that I'd rather not hear it.

If your system is air cooled consider swapping your fans out with Noctua fans.
They are dead quiet. My system is on air. I have something like 7 fans not counting the GPU or PSU. 1 of them - the intake fan - is 220mm.
It's quiet as a church mouse. It's all Noctua. They cost a little more but
A) They are amazingly efficient. Like an order of magnitude or so more efficient than cheapo fans meaning you can run 4 on a hub without frying your mobo.
B) They are incredibly quiet. They're engineered to be silent, and even include rubber isolators on the chassis.
C) They're quality built. They won't randomly die on you like some of the cheaper stuff, and they can handle plenty of dust before they finally give up.
They cost about twice what a cheapo fan costs, and they're worth it.
If you're air cooled consider that. Otherwise it may be your pump that is at issue, and that's not easy to fix if you're on AIO.

 I'll look into them. 4 something years ago I built up a Ryzen 9 for use as a host system for virtual machines. I also put an RTX 2060 in it, and it does everything I need it to do. But, I do like my machines quiet. For fans, I like to swap them out when I think they are old. Cheap insurance.
