>>17070634>hardware too oldthe really old Dell desktop replacement laptops just used desktop parts and are easier to upgrade
if hardware is a really big concern i wouldnt bother with most laptops under $1000, and most in the 1000-2000 will be surpassed in 5 years
upgrading an old laptop is simply the cheapest option
