My old laptop's been chugging along for ages now with just 8GB of RAM, so just got another stick for £20 on eBay. Also got some extra paste, some wipes, some thermal pads and will probs grab a new battery; and double up the second SSD. Needs a full clean out.
Need to just get a new laptop really but I'm incredibly fussy and have to go through the obligatory one month of painstaking research phase before pulling the trigger. At least I'll have a solid, functioning secondary to fall back on afterwards.
