100% look for a new job if the current employer is not willing to enable your success. It's completely reasonable as a developer to expect a work computer that allows you to do your job effectively. If they gave you an older model that doesn't perform well, make sure you document on the performance and detail how its limitations are holding up your work. You don't need to request some supercomputer but a reasonable alternative to what you have now. If they refuse without giving any reasonable explanation, then move on.
