MP 1,1-5,1 Is a 2010 Mac Pro worth it?

[thisisnotmyname]

Hope it's ok if I piggyback my question in here....
I need to update our nonprofit's very full 128GB Flash early 2014 11" MacBook Air for a machine that a) has more storage and b)will handle basic office needs (Word, Excel, Quickbooks), tiny bit of Illustrator and Photoshop, plus some small, short video projects, like 3 minutes and under)
I was just about to spend funds I'd rather use for the kids on a new or refurbished machine, but now have been offered a MacBook Pro 17-inch, Mid-2010 (4gb 1067 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 288 MB, 500GB SATA Disk) I am copying and pasting this info... I am not tech-y at all.
I think I understand it is limited to OS 10.13.6, but it has all the software I want to run right now.
Could this get me doing what I need for another year or so?

You may want to try the laptops forum (MacBook Pro is a laptop, this is the Mac Pro forum which is a desktop machine). Hard to argue with free though, it won't be a speed demon but no problem trying it for the low low price of nothing. Another option would be to get external storage for your Air if that's meeting your needs other than a full hard drive.

Eek. Didn't realize I was in the wrong place. Thanks for the redirect and info.
