From what I gather it might be the best way for me going forward to have a new PC. I see them as low as $150 on amazon that come with windows so I'd have to nuke the SSD and install something like Mint on it instead.

Maybe we can get a fundraiser going for me so I can finally get a new laptop and put this 12 year old piece of junk to bed.

Replaced my stolen from work failing Razer with a T14s gen2 AMD two months ago and it's been great so far. I haven't tried gaming on it yet since I mainly use this for homework and hobby coding but for $300 it's decently powerful and the battery lasts me 2-3 days with light use.

Got really lucky to find a model with the 5850U for the same price as the weaker model because the seller locked themselves out of bitlocker or something.

Unfortunately some of the newer models don't have easily upgradable ram so if that's something you need definitely look into it before buying.
