Also it's starting to slow down and feels like things don't work right.

If you're using Windows, it might be time to reinstall it because it will rot over time. Windows installations always rot.

I've got a Lenovo T520 and it's the most bulletproof computer I've ever had, though it's even more useless for gaming than it otherwise would be because I have to disable the nVidia chip because the Linux drivers are so poo poo. With an SSD and 12 gigs of RAM, it is still quite responsive (if not exactly great, after all it is 12 years old and the GPU is turned off) doing everyday tasks and web browsing. I'd really like to have a better battery for it because the one I have lasts only about two hours.

Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one of those anniversary ThinkPads with the 7-row keyboard and less ancient hardware...:smith:
