Even a laptop from over 10 years ago has sufficient performance. By using a large-capacity external HDD to store the photos and videos stored on all the family's iPhones on a Windows PC set as an SMB server, if you can access it in the same wifi environment as the Windows server, all family members can access it smoothly at home. You can also import CDs and transfer music to the Windows server to share and enjoy with your family. Even if you don't have a Windows SMB server, it also supports network HDDs such as RECBOX. It's a long explanation, but I hope you'll read it all to understand what features it has. I'd also appreciate it if you could take a look at the app preview video and screenshots.
