    Considering updating my old 8 GB laptop with a 16 GB SoDim stick and a 1 TB SSD. But for that price, i can instead get almost a second HP Elitebook 840 that already has 16 GB memory and a faster CPU. The laptop i'm considering upgrading is from 2018 so remaining lifetime is unknown...

    It's not shit in any way, it's just that it's not that capable as my new laptop. I can fire up twice as many VMs (and store them too) om my 1TB M2 drive.

    Still, could be useful to have a backup laptop.

      To be fair, the HP Elitebook i bought was reconditioned and i don't know how old it is, but it is still snappier, boots faster and VMs performance feels just right, over my Lenovo Ideabook 320.
